Writing for Engineering 21007 [B2]
My name is Shazad Outar and I am a student that will be taking writing for engineering in the Spring 2019 term. I am currently a second term freshman who is majoring in computer science with the intention of being employed as a software developer or as a systems analyst, however, I have not made a final decision as yet and I am still open to other options.
The reason that these two career options are my top two options is that of the same reason that I choose computer science as my major. The reason being that I love puzzles, math, and technology. From a young age, I was brought into the world of all types of puzzles, from crossword puzzles and pictogram puzzles to logic and math problems. From there I started learning about logical thinking and how that type of mindset works which fascinated me, leading me to start incorporating that into my daily life and what I saw in the world around me. Which led me to eventually find programming and learning about computers because of how information has to be formatted and presented for the computer to interpret. My ultimate long term goal is to get employed with one of the careers that were previously mentioned. In addition to this long term goal another long term goal that I have is to one day develop my own app. My short-term goals are to learn more about these careers to see if they really are the correct selection for me and to explore other options of where my major can take me. I also would like to start working on additional and small programming tasks/projects to get me more practice.
I can not know what the future holds for me or where the future will take me but I imagine that my field of engineering will be important especially since it is starting to be more recognized and relevant as a field of engineering as time goes on. I say this because various software programs are starting to be implemented and incorporated into more and more aspects of daily activities such as smart devices to heart monitors. Computer programmers will be needed to allow the increasing amount of complex devices to interact and work with each other while also making constant tweaks and upgrades to items that already work but could be improved. I imagine that problems will be solved more and more by robotic assistance with AI and other developments to take in information, process the information, and then produce new ideas that humans have never thought of or tried. I also imagine that with computers, both hardware and software, constantly improving that computers will be used more often as predictors and simulators to help accurately and cheaply be used in more situations.
