Directions: Please answer the following questions and turn it in to the blog.
Due Date: The day after your two-hour presentation by 8:00 A.M.
(1) Positive Statement
I am proud of making time during my 2 hour because I was going through my answers really fast at first and by my third answer, I was able to tie things back to my previous answers and summarize the presentation. Everyone told me that I was very factual and people like thine information I gave.
(2) Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your 2-Hour Presentation (self-assessment)? Why?
AE P AP CR NC
P/AP. I feel that I did what was required but there were some times where I had to flip back to a previous slide to show an example and some may have felt it seemed unprepared. However, I was relaxed and followed through the presentation and felt I only had minor problems.
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)? Why?
AE P AP CR NC
P/AP. Again, I did everything that was required, however, I dd turn things in late which is why I may have gone down. Since I changed my EQ, there was a time where I kind of fell behind since my project was kind of put on pause. If lateness was not a factor, I feel I probably deserve a P.
(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
Being able to work in a hospital for my service learning and talk to those in the medical field. It was helpful for my project, as well as making new connections in the career field. It was a great experience to feel firsthand what the medical field is like.
(4) What didn’t work for you in your senior project?
My initial EQ. My first EQ which is what I was going off of for most of the year really felt like I was limited and I wanted to expand more. In doing this, I gave myself a shorter time to find a lot of useful research and it was pretty hard to understand the complex mechanics and calculations and stuff. Some of the vocab was hard and I had to figure out what everything meant compared to before I changed my EQ where I had background knowledge.
(5) Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
It has given me experience in the medical field and the opportunity to work with medical equipment such as IV pumps, patient monitors, pulse oximeter, etc. Winston, my service learning mentor, has even told me that I receive training similar to most biomeds. Also, the research I have done has given me a better idea of what the career is all about and some of the different methods they have when making a prosthetic. I feel that I am much more ready now to go into biomedical engineering as a career field and to study it in college.
