A Kind of Needed Break

It’s been about 5 months since I’ve said anything. People have been wondering where I’ve gone or what I’ve been up to. Truthfully, I just needed a break and just explored the world. I spent my summer with the friends I grew up with, now that

An Engineer's Second Semester Reflection

I just ended my second semester of college, and it was probably my most difficult semester. I took 27 units, which was a lot. Some days, I was there from 8AM to 11PM which were long days. I took the following classes, and I listed by brief thoughts about each:

What is Linear Algebra?

I’m done with Linear Algebra, and it was an interesting journey. Fun fact, I’ve been looking forward to this class since around 10th grade, when I first heard the topic mentioned somewhere (I don’t remember when exactly). And it took me 3 years to finally reach that

Why Statistics is Considered "Easy"

If you go to college or university, you’ve probably heard that the introduction statistics class is one of the easiest higher level mathematics courses. I know for some students, all math is hard and statistics is no different. However, statistics is still considered easy by the bulk of all

The Lack of Research Opportunities for Community College Students

One of the most critical components of a STEM undergraduate’s life is research. Majority of STEM majors at universities do some type of research relating to their major or their personal interests. However, at the community college level, research opportunities are scarce and limited to a few students per

Why Calculus 2 Is So Difficult

I have a confession to make, I never did Calculus 2. Well, traditionally at least. I went through AP Calculus BC which does encompass Calculus 2, but it's very different to what is taught at the college level. Calculus 2 through AP is a simpler, dumbed down version of what’

The Trustee

As of last Thursday (April 18, 2024) I was elected to become the next Student Trustee of El Camino College. It was something I’d wanted since my boss said she could see me as the Student Trustee, and I’ve been thinking about running for this position since I

California Community College Engineering

One of the biggest problems facing Community College engineering Students in California is the course transferability. Many courses required by Universities of California (UC’s) and California State Schools (CSU’s) have no articulation to Community College courses or the courses are denied for transferability. This causes students to feel

The Senator

Advocacy. Student Government at the community college level is a lot different than it was at the HighSchool level. At High School, it felt like Student Government were the leaders of events and other things along those lines, including clubs and other organizations. Now, at the Community College, it’s

"Fake" Engineering Courses

As a high schooler, my High School offered a few engineering courses. Introduction to Engineering, Principles of Engineering, Digital Technology, and Engineering Design and Development. Although these courses had the name engineering in the title, I would soon come to realize these courses were not recognized by many universities including

The 'T' in STEM

I’ve always felt the ‘T’ in STEM has been overlooked. The ‘T’ stands for Technology, but since I’ve grown up it’s the most rarely talked about. Technology is the cornerstone of progress in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Its integration has revolutionized the
