This past semester marked the beginning of my senior year at the Olin College of Engineering. With most of my major requirements completed, I was able to focus on more extracurricular activities. I took a few spontaneous trips around the country with friends, continued work on an entrepreneurial venture, and began work on a year-long senior capstone project. One main reason for my excitement when starting this final fall semester, was the opportunity to work on a project as a part of our school’s senior capstone program in engineering (SCOPE). The program allows seniors to work with a multidisciplinary team throughout both semesters of senior year to provide innovative solutions to a company’s real-world projects. I am working with a team of four with Toyota to redesign and improve the personal mobility experience for people with ambulatory disabilities. I was chosen by my team to be the product owner for the entire year, which makes me primarily responsible for keeping track of the big picture of the project and thinking ahead to where the team needs to get to. I also take point on interactions with the company liaison. This opportunity has allowed me to grow my management skills and engage with real world work in a hands-on way. During my upcoming, final undergrad semester, I will complete my Electrical and Computer Engineering degree, continue work as the product owner for my SCOPE team, and explore new opportunities–ones I could never have imagined myself having if I did not end up going to Olin College of Engineering through the support of my community, friends, family, and the generosity of MVYouth.
