Career Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to do something that had to do with computers and building stuff. Later on, after I took Business Tech and a couple of engineering summer camps, I figured out that I wanted to design things like processors, graphics cards,
Career Cont. motherboards, and stuff like that. Now, I am pretty sure that I want to design mobile processor chips, which are what makes phones, like iPhones or Android phones, work.
Colleges • So, after thinking about what I want to do, I have made three choices about where I want to go to get a degree: • Auburn University • Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) • Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech)
Auburn University • Here are some of the reasons why I chose this college: • They have a very good engineering school that is getting better and one of the main focuses of the president to get better. • They have a very good sports program, which football and basketball are my favorite sports
Auburn Cont. • It is very close to home • Since my dad works there, I get a discount on the tuition. • However, there are some drawback to this college: • It is a small town • There isn’t much to do outside of football season.
Interesting Facts- Auburn • After they win any kind of sports events, they roll trees by Toomer’s Corner • Tim Cook went to Auburn. • Their school mascot is Aubie the Tiger. • Before football games, an eagle flies around the stadium.
MIT • I picked MIT for many reasons, and here are some of them: • It is the best engineering school in the world. • It is in a big town, which I like. • They are currently doing research to make CPU’s faster. • They have a good sports program, even if they are not very focused on it.
MIT Cont. • It is only 4 hours away from where I used to live (Rochester, NY). • I love the weather up there, especially in the summer. • Some thing I don’t like: • It is very far away • It can get very cold in winter
Interesting Facts- MIT • Their mascot is Tim the Beaver • They play lots of pranks, or what they call “hacks”. • They are located in Boston, Massachusetts.
Georgia Tech • Georgia Tech is the last college that I chose. • It has many good things about it. • It is only two hours away from where I live now and I have family that lives even nearer to the city • It is in a big city. • It is a very good engineering school.
Georgia Tech • There are some drawbacks as well though: • I do not like the city that it is located in, even if it is a big one. • Again, it is not a very sport-centered college, like Auburn.
Interesting Facts- GA Tech • There mascot is Buzz the yellow jacket. • It is in Atlanta, Georgia. • They have a lot of traditions.
Which should I chose? • So after considering all of this, I think I want to go to Auburn University to get a BS in electrical engineering degree there, and then later going to MIT(if I can) and then getting a PhD in electrical engineering, and then maybe going to work for a company like NVIDIA.
How I plan on preparing • To help prepare for going to college, I am going to take all of the engineering classes at the high school. I also will probably do some summer camps at Auburn University that have to do with engineering.
