I am a motivated student pursuing mechanical engineering with a minor in robotics. I want to understand the different aspects of creating technologies through the product development cycle, including research, user-centered solutions, and production. Mechanical engineering will allow me to learn various production components, such as manufacturing through 3D printing and CNC Machine mills; understanding electronics components with soldering and PCB designs; and programming to learn UI/UX interfaces. My goal is to be able to solve social issues through the knowledge of mechanical engineering, such as water quality implementation, collaborative robots, and improvement to quality of life. As a low-income student, I plan to use the scholarships I earn to further my higher education.
