What’s In Our Future? (Andrea Cazares)

…And we’ve finished! The SEAS team is so excited to finally be done with our Deliverable Two. It was a long and tedious journey here, but nonetheless we are glad we’ve made it. As we wrap up the end of the 6 weeks, we only know what is going to be expected of us in the future. For one, we are going to start building our prototype very soon. Because I have been in the Biomedical pathway for so long, I have no experience with constructing prototypes. I’m a little nervous to start, but I know that my engineering partners will be a big help. I’ve made my way over to the design and constructing location and I’ve gotten to see the machines that we can possibly use. Though they seem a little intimidating, I think I can figure them out.

Our design seems pretty straightforward but I’m not underestimating it. I know that there will be a lot of trial and errors in creating our prototype. That’s when the word “patience” comes in. I remember when the designer speaker came in to talk to us about his experience with designing, and how every day was hard because you were constantly working to meet a deadline. I know that will be the case with us. A big part of this class is meeting deadlines and producing a quality project. I know that the same will be the case in college. This class is just preparing us with the same rigor a college class is. Patience will get me through.

A big part of the design process is creativity. I would consider myself a very creative person. It’s what inspired my potential major! I look forward to thinking outside the box and creating a beautiful project. With the help of my teammates, our ideas are what will pioneer the biomedical-engineering path. I can’t wait to see what great things we do. Because our design is so universal, our consumers will benefit greatly from it. Go SEAS team!
