Please explain why you want to be a member of the Global Engineering RAP at CU Boulder. Please include how you think this community will contribute to your training as an engineer and as a person and how you plan to contribute personally to the residential community: I would enjoy being a member of the Global Engineering RAP at CU Boulder because I want to continue to become a well-rounded person making a difference in our world. One of my most meaningful experiences in high school was attending the Fundamentals of Engineering Program with Summer Springboard at UC San Diego in the summer of 2024. I did this to learn about the various types of engineering and encounter other students with similar interests from all around the world. We learned about the design, mathematics, and science of how the world works. Various projects that we completed were building a bridge using spaghetti, constructing a prosthetic hand, and creating a robotic car. Students that I collaborated with on these projects were from California, Oregon, North Carolina, and as far away as Brazil. From the very first day I was there, I clicked with these students of different genders and ethnicity than me as we talked about what we have in common and hope to pursue in the future. I appreciated their various perspectives and suggestions on the projects. I went into the program nervous that I wouldn't have enough background in the tougher topics, but when we all came together and worked with one another, our different areas of expertise fit like a puzzle. This experience taught me that having a team made up of people with different strengths can be a huge advantage to solving real-world problems.
