Week 1 - Neha

 I wanted to join this program to gain knowledge about lots of fields related to engineering and healthcare. I find it really interesting that so much of healthcare has engineering integrated into it. I want to major in a more science based engineering as well, so I came into this wanting to learn about a variety of fields. I prepared for this program by reading about what it is we would accomplish throughout the course of these three weeks. 

I find our mentors to be very informative, and explain concepts and ideas to us in a really interesting and engaging way. When we first talked about the projects we would do, they seemed really difficult and while they still seem challenging, they don't seem impossible like before. 

During Week 2, I want to work more with the Arduino Boards because it builds off of the programming I've done in my school's computer science courses with hardware I've never worked with before until this program. 

My favorite part of the tour was seeing the differences in architecture of the newer and older buildings. The buildings and rooms near the entrance and statue looked older with arches while the Physics room near where we are looks more modern. I think it's really cool to see the contrast in the same area because it shows how the college has grown as it progressed.
