This is it, the final journal entry. It’s been a really fun and productive semester, and I learned so much, especially from this course. I was always able to handle the math and science aspect of things, but the writing and communication part is always where I struggled and so this class really helped me. I just finished my final draft for my engineering proposal and I’m very proud of the final product. However, I feel like I could’ve done better, but I just don’t have enough time to really work on it and touch it up because of all the finals I have from other classes. It’s still a product that I’m very proud of, but I just know I can do better, especially with this being the last assignment in the class. Regardless, it’s a topic that I’m very passionate about and reading it back, I sound like an actual scientist or engineer with resources and experiments conducted. I’m excited to see what proposals I can write when I become an actual engineer with years of experience and research to back up my claims in my proposal and who knows, maybe I’ll use the same proposal I used for this assignment. I still have my self assessment that I need to write, but I already have an idea of what I’m going to talk about. Looking back and seeing how far I’ve come from the technical description essay which was very poor to be honest, all the way to the engineering proposal, which is a much better final product. I’ve learned so much about writing, about how to do it, about its importance and relevance in today’s world, and I’m going to carry all that I’ve learned with me through my future academic career. That’s all for today, and I wish you all the best of luck with the rest of your academic careers and your futures!
