2 The engineer that I have decided to show to the class is an electrical engineer. He currently owns his own company, Mantaro, which he co-founded with a friend (also an engineer).

3 Time In College and Before: He decided to become an engineer at age 8 because he had a fascination for how electronics, in particular, functioned. He decided to become an engineer because he was interested in electronics and how things work. He never considered another field of engineering He attended University of Maryland, and obtained a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees there, and majored in Electrical Engineering. He thinks that the amount of time you spend in order to obtain a degree pays off in the long run. He was active in the “IEEE” at Maryland where he would hang out with other people in different engineering programs.

4 Work Experience He is an Electrical Engineer. He co-founded a company, Mantaro, with a friend. He is the chief technical officer at work. There were certain ideas that he communicated for products in order to get funding for projects. He works about 50 hours a week, and he has flexible hours. He can work at home because all his work is in his laptop. He works with all different kinds of engineers, but mainly software engineers and a few mechanical engineers. Projects last anywhere between 2 weeks and 6 months. Each project goes through multiple phases, lasting somewhere between1 week and a month and a half.

5 Work Experience His most recent project is a 3D camera, where he is working on the light protection. He has also recently worked on an antenna for a wireless application and a battery charger for a portable unit. The challenges that he faces at work, are that projects can fail. The most interesting project that he has done, would be working with control systems. The most difficult challenge in the course of his career was to communicate to co-workers that something was not going to work. The part of his job that he most enjoys is the problem- solving, and being able to find new and effective solutions to problems. His first job out of college was in a Medical Engineering firm that worked to treat cancer with microwaves.

6 Work Experience His most memorable experience would be improving from just another engineer to being recognized as a “top engineer” at his firm. His starting salary right out of college was around $40,000. Personal He spends his free time tinkering with things,messing with woodwork, fixing things, and building.

7 Perry’s Personal Engineering Profile After interviewing several engineers, I have decided that I am very interested in becoming a Civil Engineer. The idea of being able to design and fix problems dealing with buildings, bridges, roads, etc. is something that I would definitely enjoy doing.

8 College Three colleges that I would like to attend are: University of Illinois, University of Maryland, and Pennsylvania State University because all three offer good engineering programs, along with good business programs. I would also have a chance to decide between two majors, or combine elements of both, which all three colleges offer at a high level.

9 In order to achieve my career goals after graduation, I know that it is necessary to get internships or on-the-job-training in order to set myself up with enough experience to excel after college. By gaining experience at internships I would be set as a prospective employee who already has experience at the job, which would put me ahead of other prospective employees.

10 I would like to work for a company where I would have the opportunity to work with experienced Engineers so that I would learn a lot. It would be interesting to combine my interest in sports with engineering, for example, helping to design sports venues.

11 Life at Work I project myself working about the same amount of time as the average successful American, between 40 and 50 hours a week. I know to expect stress from deadlines and pressure to deliver successful projects, but I look forward to taking on these challenges.

12 Leisure For my leisure time, I would like to continue to follow sports in the same fashion that I do now. I would also like to have time to do my hobbies like playing golf, going to concerts, watching movies, etc. to enjoy my free time.
