Undergraduate / Engineering Leaders: Experience inside/outside of class -USC Suppelment [6]

Engineering leaders do more than just solve technical problems. What kinds of experiences, inside and outside of the classroom, would you want to explore to enhance your studies?

In order to enhance my studies not only knowledge but also experience can be provided outside the classroom. However, at times without any experiences, knowledge is not enough. I would like to gain independence that would lead me to increase my personal growth and improve me by connecting with other students around the world and studying abroad it can be an eye opening adventure where learning extends to the world beyond the classroom walls. Inside of the classroom on topics of study, learn some strategies for success. Find ways to try things together or share notes on things you have done independently, it is a great way to explore and bounce ideas off of someone and learn from their successes and challenges. These are the experiences that I will be looking forward to in pursuing it in my Engineering career life.

PLEASE comment asap! comment on what I have to fix and please be kind enough to explain and give me examples so I understand completely.

I am also wondering on how to write this am I suppose to write a title and date and all that? should I use the MLA format or what? I don't know how to make it look professional.

Undergraduate / Majors: Health Prevention Science & Biomedical - USC Supplement [3]

Please comment and correct my essay I need it to be as professional as possible. Feel free to comment the pros and the cons of my essay. looking forward to your posts!

Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections.

In my high school years I started searching for universities that can provide me with such knowledge while working on my searches I have found the perfect University for what I am looking for. I went around University of southern California's campus that made me feel very comfortable and made me eager to apply. I have a big plan for completing my college years in USC and I believe that I will contribute it to the other people.

Since I was in middle school, I had my mind set on majoring in a medical field I just knew that was the most suited for me. As I was growing up in my society, I have been watching and experiencing problems health wise and social wise. Being very passionate of the social and behavioral sciences that got me into reading books about health risks in individuals, families and communities. Whenever there was a problem with a friend or a sibling, they would always come and talk to me about it and I try to analyze the problem to help them fix it or work through their problem; which made me think that I wanted to major in Health Promotion Science and Disease Prevention. In my case of knowledge, University of Southern California prepares students in the Health Promotion Department to have leadership role in methods of solving community health service that will help me pursue it in University of Southern California.

One day when me and my best friend had a tragic incident she lost her arm and she came from a poor family that couldn't afford all the medical expenses to heal her and at the time there wasn't much advanced technology in the town that we use to live in. That was when I started getting more curious about the human body and wondered how it worked. Therefore, I started being interested on the ideas of transplanting body parts, reading and researching about it got me all fascinated with all the creative ways to substitute the human organs and body parts it works perfectly normal with practice it's like they never lost anything. That was when I decided to go into biomedical. Being a combination of biology medicine, and engineering in purpose to solve medical and health related problems, I am aware that the University of Southern California evaluate the use of artificial organs and have the ability to improve instruments that are most used at hospitals and health clinics.

I plan to follow my dreams in University of Southern California and one day be able to create the specialized products that will save lives and make patients safer and helps them move more comfortably in their daily activities.

Undergraduate / Stereotyped; Nerds & Geeks, embrace or reject? [6]

Please help me out with commenting/adding/deleting anything feel free to fix whatever you feel that is right, I need to submit this essay.

Engineers have sometimes been stereotyped as "nerds" or "geeks." Do you embrace or reject that stereotype? Why?

The word "nerds" and "geeks" are both applied to people that are known in society for being anti-social and very smart people. As people emphasize it that they are very "geeky" or "nerdy" looking people, that they wear glasses and have nerdy clothes on. Well, I strongly reject that kind of stereotype because it is not a way to judge people just by their appearance or their looks. I have met and experienced some people that are straight A's students, nose in a book, super smart people and as well as outgoing and are socializing with everyone. Many smart famous people had invented things, all they did was researches, and work all day and did not have time to socialize with people so being smart comes with purposes and being productive. I think that smart people just do not have time to socialize and interact with people so everyone thinks that they are anti-social. In fact, it is just a matter of equalizing your time with everything; social time, study time, sleeping time etc. I have learned that from my best friend, she is also pursuing Electrical Engineering in University of Southern California and she is the one who motivated me into considering this without any stereotypes.
