These past two weeks in the ISM program I learned what is expected of me, gave a speech about me, and set up this blog to showcase my growth and experiences in ISM. From my speech I found that I have a lot to learn about how to properly give a speech and to speak with and portray confidence. On top of this, I learned about my colleagues in this program thanks to some team building exercises and their personal speeches. Thankfully, I wasn't the only person who was nervous and this helps me know that I'm not alone.
I now have my quote, mission statement, and career and industry forecast complete, with my resume and interview questions coming up as the next assignments I need to tackle. I plan on doing research soon into the local biomedical engineering scene to see what professionals in my area could help me gather information about this field. Hopefully I'll be able to find someone in prosthetics so they can help me understand what kind of education I need. I remember from my campus visit to UT Austin the presenter for the biomedical engineering school told me that mechanical engineering or electrical engineering would be better if I am interested in prosthetics, so I need to find out ASAP if that's the engineering school to pursue.
