Why do you want to attend NYU-Poly?
Working alongside engineering and science students from such a variety of cultural and educational backgrounds is a rewarding experience by itself. The opportunity to take part in technological advances by combining the health sciences, urban planning and engineering cannot be forgone. Earning a degree in music is another goal of mine, as I have been studying classical piano since I was five years old. I can achieve this by cross-registering at NYU.
Tell us why you selected your major or your area of interest.
The most appealing engineering elective I have taken thus far was entitled Introduction to Electrical Circuits. The neat, hands-on lab allowed us to readily experiment with electricity and discover basic properties of various circuit elements and their configurations. The involvement of Poly's ECE Department in its pursuit of global, distinct, multi-disciplinary initiatives such as Bioengineering (specifically biomedical image processing) and ICT is also very exciting going forward.
How are you a 'PolyThinker'?
As a PolyThinker, I am eager to create more practical applications for my growing knowledge of engineering. Earning an associate's degree at the age of sixteen is an achievement that displays my ability to challenge myself as well as the standards of the system I am a part of. I feel this clearly illuminates deficiencies in the existing approach to education.
Here is how they define PolyThinker:
PolyThinking Defined
- Noun
1. an innate capacity of analysis or problem-solving characterized by a healthy suspicion of obvious or widely-held conclusions
2. an act of thinking in parallel that optimizes how the brain processes information
- Verb
1. to conceive of technological, scientific, mathematic, visual, and management approaches that illuminate deficiencies in existing approaches
2. to make micro or macro advances in a field of study that have ripple effects in multiple fields
