2. Student will demonstrate personal, EGR105 and Our group projects As an engineering major, I had to take two classes titled EGR105 and EGR106. These classes acted
organizational, and academic examples EGR106 as an introduction to engineering and they simulate the social aspect of the engineering world. In each
of self-discipline of these classes, we were assigned group projects. In my EGR105, I was placed in a group with three
other individuals who were also engineering majors. Together, we had to research a problem in the
engineering world and research a solution to try and solve it. We started researching the water
pollution issues in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We discussed this as our problem in our
presentation. Then we researched a method in which the water could be purified for the public at a
cheaper rate. Once we found what we wanted to discuss, we had to organize the work amongst
ourselves. We also set out times in which we would all meet to work on and rehearse our presentation.
Throughout this period of time, all of us remained very disciplined as we were juggling this presentation
with the rest of our schoolwork. This same process was also applied in my current project for my
EGR106 class. In this class, we have to write code for a virtual robot to navigate through a maze. We
have to get it to cover the most surface area without touching the walls. Every week, my group
members and I meet to discuss the code and have and how we could edit it to improve our robot's
performance. This requires a lot of organization and self-discipline as during my EGR105 class, we are
all juggling our own schedules and classes while working on this project together as a team.
3. Student will demonstrate the ability to CHM101 preparing for and taking exams During the first semester of my freshman year, I had to take CHM101 in order to satisfy credits for the
manage emotions college of engineering. My professor for this class was not very helpful and was not great at explaining
what we were learning to us. She was not good a preparing us for our exams. Thus, I was not
performing very well on her exams. Throughout this class, I felt very frustrated and aggravated
throughout the semester. I was constantly stressed and scared that I would not perform well on her
exams. One thing I did that helped a lot was surround myself with good friends who were also taking
the class with me. We would be very supportive towards one another and it really helped calm us down
when we were stressed about the class.

needed to let go of. She introduced me to the strength management methods, which are methods I still

use to this day. Some of the stress management methods I learned about were meditation and
mindfulness, good sleeping and eating habits, exercising, listening to music, and getting organized.

use to this day. She advised me to practice deep breathing whenever I was feeling stressed or
overwhelmed. She also educated me on the importance of exercising regularly and eating healthily.
She also advised me to manage my social media usage in order to not spend too much time viewing
negative content. Finally, she stressed the importance of surrounding myself with people who are
supportive and who are able to contribute positively to my life. Through learning these methods, I have
been able to be less stressed and I am able to manage my stress in a much healthier way.
6. Student will express a personal code of HDF190 Leadership Institute Throughout my HDF190 classes, we have discussed ethics and how they are formed. I know that my
leadership / membership ethics values are honesty, integrity, and respect and I always do my best to integrate them into my daily life. I
always try to choose friends who also have similar ethics and values to me. This is because I feel that I
build strong relationships best with people who have similar values and ethics to me. In my leadership
class, I hope to really expand on these values and learn other ways to integrate them into my daily life.
7. Student will demonstrate practice of the SPA205 In my Spanish class I feel that I learned a lot about expressing my own personal values and ethics in a
personal code of ethics new language. Many times we would study important Hispanic individuals who were leaders in their
own ways. We then would discuss what we valued and what aspects were important to us. We would
also read many philosophical pieces of literature that reflected ethics and values.
8. Student will express a personal values HDF190 Taking the quiz for HDF190 My top 5 VIA strengths were Self Regulation, Judgement, Humility, Prudence, and Love of Learning. I
statement (Sources = VIA, values really felt that this quiz really assessed who I was and had an accurate summary of me and why I am
clarification exercises, etc.) the way I am. Self-regulation to me is someone who always practices self-control. They think long and
hard about what they do next and how they react in certain situations. Judgment is when one thinks
things through and examines a situation from all sides and does not assume things. Humility is in
someone who always remains humble. They tend to let their achievements speak for themselves and
they always try to improve themselves. Prudence is when someone is careful about making decisions
and not taking too many risks. They always think before they speak in order to avoid saying things they
may regret. Love of learning is the action of learning new things on their own account or in a formal
setting. People with a love of learning as their strength are people who always want to add to what they
already know. I relate to the Judgement quality a lot since I am more of an overthinker. I always try to
analyze things from all aspects and this sometimes makes it difficult for me to get out of my head and
actually make decisions.

“Servant Leadership” theory of leadership philosophy that is included in a group of behaviors and practices that focus on the
. leadership by Greenleaf well-being of the people being served. The theory describes leaders who put the benefit of others
before themselves and lead with the goal of helping everyone. The servant leadership model contains
ten characteristics. Those characteristics are, listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion,
conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and building
community. I spoke about the servant leadership skill of listening. I spoke about my own experiences
in which I used listening to lead others. I also talked about my dad and how he is a role model for me
when it comes to using listening to lead others. This speech definitely made me more aware of the
type of leader I am and how I should go about leading people. it opened my eyes to a strength I didn’t
really know I had.
