Blog 2- Summer Mentorship

      Mentorship Hours                                             

                                             
                                        This is one of the many things my mentor works on.

1. List the contact name, phone number, and organization of the person with whom you volunteered.
    Luis Viramontes, 626-931-0741, Virtual Revelations.
2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic choice?
    What qualified my mentor in this field : Associate of Science in Computers and Electronics Engineering    Technology, certified by Xerox Corporation, Samsung and Onforce to provide field services on electronics.    

3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.
    How many years does it take to get a master's degree?
    Do electronic engineers need to remember ever single formula that they've been taught?
    What challenges do electronic engineers face in the field?

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
   The most important thing that I have gained from this experience is the dedication it takes to actually learn about electronics. I've seen all of the work one has to go through in order to become an electronics engineer. Learning in this field is tough because of all the equations one has to remember. In the long run this could help me prepare for what is coming in the future, since technology is getting better everyday.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did mentorship help you make your decision?  Please explain.

   My senior project is going to be about electronics engineering and how this field is growing. Mentorship helped me decide because this topic seems very interesting. I've always been close to technology and this mentorship really showed me what it takes to become an electronics engineer. The mentorship showed me what is in store in the future. Learning about technology now could greatly advance it in the future. 

Senior Final Lesson/Interview Reflection

1.  What three lessons were most helpful for you to see, and why?

The three lessons that were most helpful was the Aerospace engineering, Engineering, and Computer programming. They were helpful because they all had something to do with engineering or electronics. I learned quite a bit about the many equations out there in the engineering world.

2. List one thing that you learned about the senior project in interviews that will help you get off to a good start?

    One thing that I learned from senior interviews was that I should be on top of my things. Waiting till the last minute can really affect me in a negative way. Finding a mentor and doing all of my necessary work will be a breeze if I do my assignments on time. 

3. What topic(s) are you considering, and why?

     The topic that I'm considering is Electronic Engineering. I choose this topic because it's very interesting to me. The world today is all about technology and how it improves almost everyday. Also I am fascinated on how electronics work.

4. What EQ do you think might be interesting to consider in guiding a project like this? (Please don't worry about any sort of formula...we want this question to come from your genuine interest).

      An EQ that might guide me should go a little something like this: How can we get the best performance out of electronics? 

5. What are some ideas you have about finding summer mentorship?

       One idea for finding a mentor is through my dad. He is an electronics engineer and knows a lot of information in his field. He has plenty of books varying from physics to computer programming. These are some very important things in the Electronics field.
