To start off, our first speaker was Dr. Wilson who spoke about engineering I general. He spoke about where you would fit in the world and his son’s story about breaking his leg twice. This talk has inspiring while seeing what engineers could accomplish and the future for engineering.
The next speaker that we had spoke about the ROTC programs at Catholic and around the country. Lieutenant Mary Coyne talked about her own experiences as well as her journey joining the military. She was very inspiring, because as a woman she faced the military head on and proved that women can succeed in the military. Her inspiring speech to join ROTC and the military gave me inspiration and respect for our armed forces.
Dr. Darryl Barnes was a class act and was very good at what he did. Barnes was a researcher and experiment expert. Dr. Darryl Bones first taught us that to search for a job that you enjoy, and you will never work a day in your life. He did many experiments with liquid nitrogen, which were very interesting and might have been somewhat targeted toward a younger crowd but still was interesting.
The next week, we had the guest speaker Dr. Jay Richards who spoke out on his views about modern day technology. He talks about the difference of technology from the past to modern day. He speaks out about how modern day technology has influenced society so that it is much different than in the past.
The next speaker that talked to us was Mark Bell who spoke more about law and ethics. He talked about the ethics that we need to follow in order to not get in trouble and stay ethical engineers. He talked about the rules and regulations that most companies follow to keep their operations ethical and keep in like with industry.
The next week we heard from Chris Danek, who spoke on his teaching position teaching students about entrepreneurship. While I have no interest in becoming an entrepreneur, it was a good opportunity at hearing another person who taught about picking a job that you enjoy doing. He talked a lot about building something of your own and selling that idea or object.
Another speaker that we heard from was Kim Clark. She spoke about her passion of journalism and media. She talked about the influence of news article titles and how they can be swayed in different ways to make you feel a certain way. We participated in an activity where we came up with our own news titles which were read in front of the class which was interesting and fun.
These speakers were all inspiring in their own ways to me in finding my career path. I feel that the biggest inspiring speakers were Mary Coyne and Darryl Barnes whose main point was to follow what you enjoy doing and to pursue a career path that is enjoyable because you will be miserable otherwise. I feel that to find my career path personally, I am going to have to do some research and look for jobs that I would enjoy doing and pursue that. Then once I have pursued something I enjoy, work hard and ethically to make it to the top and be the best I can be.
During the time that we spent together in our Senior Seminar Workshop, you were exposed to a number of different career pathways as described by our seminar speakers. When I invited them to come and present for you, I asked them to imagine that they could enter a virtual time machine and return to the past and reconnect with themselves when they were Seniors in College. I asked them to consider the following questions: 1) What advice would you give yourself regarding your career and life choices? 2) What, if anything would you do differently?
Please answer the following questions based on your experiences in Seminar this semester.
1.) After reflecting on your time at college, what advice would you share with our current First Year Engineering Class? Think of specific things that you wish someone would have told you when you were a First year student.
2.) Please prepare a summary for the additional seminar speakers who you did not include in the first assignment. Please focus on what information that they presented that can help you in designing your dream career pathway.
3.) If you had the opportunity to talk with our speakers again, what questions would you ask them? (1 question per presenter, 2 – 4 points for each question, based on the quality of the question).
4.) You are transported in your virtual time machine to time points 3, 10, and 20 year’s into your future. Describe what your ideal career is like, what you have learned from our speakers this semester that has contributed to your success, and what message, advice, lessons that your future self has for you to ensure that you achieve your goals.
Be specific and think carefully as you present your ideas in a well prepared and articulated 2-3 page neatly typed essay
Include aspects of 1) the importance of professional ethics in your career, 2) K-12 education outreach to inspire our next generation of scientists and engineers, and 3) specific aspects of how your future dream career will contribute to solving grand challenges (you may select as many challenges as you like with a minimum of 2-3).

There have been many studies completed on the different styles of leadership. One of the most important ones focused on if a leader is “task focused” or “relationship focused.”
For this assignment, complete a short survey and then analyze your results.
Drawing on the material in the background readings and doing additional research, please prepare a 3-page paper that addresses the following question:
Are you a Type A or Type B leader? What strengths do you have as this kind of leader? What are the weaknesses? Give examples from your experience to illustrate.
Survey instructions (tables will be uploaded as attachments).
Take the following task vs. relationship leadership survey. After you have completed the survey, add up your scores for tables 1 and 2 to determine your dominant leadership style.
To determine your dominant personal leadership style, circle one of the following options that best describes how you see yourself (or the person that is being evaluated) regarding each statement.
For each statement, you can indicate the degree to which you (or the person being evaluated) engage(s) in the stated behavior.
A rating of 1 means Never and a rating of 5 means Always with the person demonstrating the specific behavior:
A = Task Orientation Scores: ___
B = Relationship Orientation Scores: ___
45-50 Very high range
40-44 High range
35-39 Moderately high range
30-34 Moderately low range
25-29 Low range
10-24 Very low range
The key aspects of this assignment that, at a minimum, should be covered in your presentation include:
Thoroughly analyzing the survey and its results, and how you plan on using your results to become a more influential leader.
Discussing whether you think it is more beneficial for a leader to be focused on tasks or relationships in an organization. Please provide examples to justify your response.
Applying the background readings to this point to yourself/the survey results, and explaining the survey results in terms of previous theories you have learned.
Dealing with these issues in an integrated fashion, rather than treating them as a series of individual questions to be answered one by one and left at that.
