General Education Reflection
My adventure in Iowa State University started from four years ago and I’ve learned much academic knowledge in my field of study and have exploited many aspects which indeed enriched my college life.
When I entered in college, I chose electrical engineering as my major because I love technology which improves my life and I admire the passion which motivates creating and furthermore I wanted to be a real innovative engineer.
My short-term goals are first, doing my best to bring me brilliant end for my college life in the coming semester. And then, I’m applying to graduate college and I hope I can get matriculated. Thirdly, I want to obtain an internship opportunity during next year to prepared for my future learning and career. Along time going, I hope my engineering background can be my far-reaching, lasting wealth in my whole life. As a long-term target, I hope I can be able to behave like an engineering person who thinks about problems and solves issues using engineering logic (rigorous, reasonable, rational and multi-faced). Moreover, I want to be a sustainable engineering person who keeps update to explore more potential ability.
What I’ve learned as my general education electives are listed below: Econ 101, Econ 355, HDFS 276, Arch 335, Art H 281, Art H 395. Among all these courses, I found Art history improve me a lot in my both academic engineering life and my social life. In my opinion, art and engineering share lots of commons. Artists always perform passionately and obsessively to achieve what they expect even like finding a certain position of a beam of sunlight in their works, they need to observe the change of sunshine naturally for several days and adjust their own thought repeatedly. Like artwork, our engineering assignments need us to prospect our point of view and search large amount references to finalize an idea rather than only looking for answers from lectures or textbooks. Also as an international student, my art history indeed helped me a lot in English reading and listening. Especially, for instance, my professor of Art H 395 is an intense German professor and she always kept passionately in her entire class in order to inevitably make me participate thoroughly. She gave us a high criterion and learning standard to push us to read and write a lot. After her class, I felt I really got the big improvement in my English listening and reading. Both my two art history courses require lots of stuff to read and recite and because so, I think I need to recite something import rather than google them every time. At last, my art classes taught me to push boundaries and break restraint when I analyze a strange and inexplicit work. So when I think about engineering issues I try to use new perspective and break out the stereotype.
I took these art classes including architecture and art history to enrich my knowledge range in my academic span. I think the perfection and aesthetic fineness of combination of art and electrical technology are the keys to the better development of the electrical industry.
