The engineers in my family were all strong, determined, intelligent men.... I began to wonder why I could not include myself in my own picture of engineering.” “Engineering is not strictly for the person who has grown up in a science environment, but, rather, engineering is [perhaps] better put to use by someone who is well-rounded in [many] different kinds of skills and interests.... It is time to disregard any negative assumptions I have… finally pay attention to my interests, and get down to work.” “EGR100 altered my state of mind, my way of thought, and the way I look at the world. It made me want to be an engineer, and I am a different person now. I am more confident, more curious, and more excited for my future.”

6. Thermodynamics Michel Foucault: Truth and Power “Now I am more critical; critical about the problems we solve, about the issues we cover in class and the discussions we have there also… It was not just the sciences, the technology, and all the math behind it, it was also this other side that helped me develop these critical thinking skills.”
