OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor targets different outcomes; all of the classes list these outcomes on the
syllabi (the words goals or curriculum areas may be used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments can serve as your evidence. Periodically, and not
less than at the end of each semester, you should update your outcomes progress. In the additional experiences column, name additional classes or experiences
that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome. As the semesters pass, you will think of things from recent semesters and semesters further in the past,
or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome. Do not let that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear
process, but it does help to reflect often. In the descriptive notes column, share insights about your growth, lack of progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At
the end of each section, you need to include evidence that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading sheets, evaluation letters
anything that shows that someone has determined that you have demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies of
all of your evidence to include in your Portfolio.

In EGR106 we are learning a programming language which can be difficult by itself, but the lectures for
this class are optional to attend and are posted online if not attended. There are quizzes online and a
lab each week to asses how much we have learned. All of the learning for this class has to be done by
the student and it is up to me to read the textbook or watch the online lectures if I want to learn and do
well on the quizzes and labs. I need to monitor myself a make sure that I get the work done for this
class that I need to
My dorm is an LLC meaning most of the people in my dorm are similar majors and taking the same
classes, so when we all have assignments to do we remind each other and help with the assignments.
For HDF 190 there are not many people in my dorm taking the class so it is primarily up to me to
manage my time so that I get my work in this class done. I have to organize my time and know when to
tell myself time to stop doing physics time for leadership.

My life

I am part of the IEP program, which allows engineers of any discipline to double major in a language
and the engineering discipline of their choice. This is a very stressful program because on its own
engineering is a lot of work and can be very stressful, but adding a new language to that can make it
even more so. Knowing how to mange the stress of all this is a key part of doing well in this major.
I am part of the IEP program, which allows engineers of any discipline to double major in a language
and the engineering discipline of their choice. This means that I am taking a lot of very difficult classes
that have a lot of work in each of them. At times all of this work can be stressful but I am able to
manage my stress in these class by doing the work with my friends and relaxing with my friends. This
helps a lot because Im not doing work all the time, sometimes Im playing video games or watching a
movie with others under the same stresses of calculus physics and programming.
There is a lot of homework in MTH 142 and all of it is online. There are some cheats to get the answers
but I always try to go to my friends for the answers and I get and explanation as well as the answer.
The purpose of the homework is to judge how much of the material a student understands. That is why
I make sure if someone helps me or I help someone else with homework I make sure that the person
get an explanation of how to get the answer and not just the answer.
For PHY 203 there is a recitation that students are handed a sheet with physics problems on it. All of
the sheets are the same and the answers are all the same so some students dont do the problems
and just copy the answers off of their friends so that they can get an automatic A for that part of the
class. I try to do this differently and I put the work in for the physics problems trying to actually learn the
material and not just have to cram at the last minute for the exam. Not many students got to their
allotted time for recitation to hand in the sheet but I go to mine and the TA there helps me out if Im
struggling because he knows I want to learn the material.
When I took the VIA survey at the start of the semester my top value was Humor. I agree with this
because I see it used all the time in life and even before I took the VIA survey I tried to make humor a
big art of my life.
I see my top VIA strength, Humor, applied in my life all the time and even before I took the VIA survey
and found out that humor is my top strength. Every person that I meet I try to make them laugh whether
at me or with me because it makes me a more approachable person and they will feel more
comfortable around me. I also use humor when I am with my friends, it helps us be better friends if we
are comfortable joking around with each other sometimes making fun of one of us but we all know its a
joke and nobody feels targeted because everyone gets made fun of.

Leadership institute, North woods


Challenge course

In EGR 105 we had a project about the Grand Challenges of Engineering. For this project all of the
work had to be done outside of class. The group that I was put in had very different schedules and I
organized times for all of us to meet and work on the project. My group had some trouble choosing a
topic but eventually we chose one and I helped divide up who should do which parts of the project.
In HDF 190 I explore who I want to be as a leader and how I can go about doing that for my specific
major. This exploration includes not just personal reflection but also reflection on how my choices may
affect the community, whether it is actions I take to help out in the community or actions that
inadvertently affect the community. This exploration of self and others allows me to have better goals
and objectives because I am much more conscientious of my self and everything around me.
Many of my classes have homework due on a regular weekly basis. Physics every Wednesday, Calc
every Sunday, and German every Mon. Wed. Fri. To get all of these homeworks finished on time I set
goals for myself to at least start them by a certain day and try to finish them the day before so that if
there are problems that are extra difficult I will have extra time to finish them or if something
unexpected happens that stops me from doing homework I will have an extra day to do it. This
planning of when to do my homework has worked out very well for me, so far I have gotten all of my
home work done on time and with time to spare.
Whether or not a person acknowledges Maslows hierarchy we all experience it everyday. Having
knowledge of this hierarchy lets me know what type of things some people want to prioritize.
I apply Maslows hierarchy of needs every day of my life consciously and subconsciously. The
hierarchy of needs is a description of how people act depending on what they need and value most, so
I start with the basics of getting food and shelter. I then move on to being accepted by others once I
have my basic needs to stay alive. After I have friends who I feel comfortable around I maintain my
mental health and try to better my esteem. Once I have all of these other needs met I am able to focus
on self actualization which is pursuing activities or goals for pleasure and no other reason.
I have taken the Gallup and VIA strengths finder. My top five in the VIA were humor, fairness, prudence
leadership, and teamwork. My top five in Gallup were analytical, adaptability, ideation, command, and
competition. I definitely agree with my top VIA, humor, because I always want to find the joy in
everything and making others, or myself, laugh is something I find very important. I also agree strongly
with my top Gallup, analytical, because I always think of what the outcome of my actions might be
before I do anything and think before I say anything which sometimes leaves me silent and looking for
the right words.

HDF 190

Living in my dorm with my friends

For HDF 190 I did a project, which required me to go out and serve the community in some way. By
doing this I learned a lot about how to be a leader in my community by serving it. I realized that it isnt
just about helping others but also being there for them when they need it and letting them know that
you are ready and able to help them at any time.
I have made friends with many of the other people that live in my dorm. After learning what it can mean
to be a servant leader I have let all of my friends know that I am always there for them and that they
can tell me anything or come to me any time. Doing this allows me to maintain a good dorm community
that gets along well and has very few troubles. I also help others in my dorm with their homework if
they need it because I want everyone to do well in their classes. I will often be in one of the lounges
studying with others and doing homework.

GER 112

Two week trip to Germany I took


over winter J-term

During my trip to Germany over winter break I learned a lot about German culture and how I could
better be a leader with a different culture. Even though I only had taken one semester of German prior
to this trip understanding the locals wasnt that difficult. It was very helpful to first attempt speaking to
natives in German even though most people were fluent in English. Speaking to the Germans in their
native language let them know that I cared about learning their culture and wanted to improve my
knowledge of their culture, and they would often help me with learning the language.

EGR 105

For EGR 105 we were presented with a project regarding the grand challenges of engineering. The
project was to come up with a viable solution and give a presentation on it. Obviously we arent going
have a solution to a problem that all engineers face, but this certainly required a lot of critical thinking to
come up with a feasible solution to present to the class. The project wasnt meant to find an actual
solution but to help us build one of the most important parts of being an engineer, critical thinking.
In this class we were given a group project in which the group had to choose one of the grand
challenges of engineering and present a solution to the class. These are real challenges that the world
is facing and people who have already study the fields necessary to solve these problems have not
created a viable solution to them yet. The challenge that my group picked was providing clean water to
the whole world. We had to use a lot of critical thinking for this because this is a problem that not even
professionals have solved yet. We also used critical thinking to split the problem up into parts that
would be easier to solve individually, so rather than solve all of the problems at once we covered each
problem one at time.

had presented we got into groups and gave feed back on how people did with their speeches. When
giving feed back its best not to just give critiques of how you would do it better, there should also be a
comment on what the person did well and then something that they could use some work.
After our speeches in HDF 190 our groups gave each other feedback on how everyone did. We made
little critiques on how they could improve their speech and also told them things that they did well. My
group gave very good speeches so I had trouble telling them things that they should change, but I
noticed many of the things that they did well.
During my training for the challenge course I learned multiple techniques for facilitation and de-briefing.
Some facilitation techniques that I learned were make sure everyone is safe because some of the
activities on the challenge course can be dangerous if not handled properly. A de-briefing technique
that I learned during the challenge course training is what purpose did you serve on the airplane
captain, crew, or cargo.

North woods challenge course

At the end of the training for the North Woods Challenge Course we had to facilitate and debrief an
activity on the challenge course in pairs. My partner and I had an activity called nitro where a group has
to get their group safely from one island to another and they are provided with a rope. As facilitators we
set rules for safety and what can and cant be done at the activity then we took a step back and let
them figure out what they were going to do while also keeping an eye on them because this activity is
one where safety is very important. After the group is finished with the activity we had them take a seat
and asked them what they thought they did well and what they could have improved upon. We also
asked if everyone felt included because we did notice that one of the participants had taken a step
back and not been very involved in the activity.

Applying to live in IEP/TI house

Applying to live in IEP/TI house

EGR 105

To live in the IEP/TI house next semester I had to go through an application process and a short
interview. This was an interviews for housing which I had never done before so at first I didnt know
how to prepare but after I talked to some people who had already been through the process I learned
that it would be just like any other interview.
To live in the IEP/TI house next semester I had to go through an application process and a short
interview. To prepare for the interview portion of the application process I did some research on the
IEP/TI house so that I could have to questions prepared for the interview. The interview was a more
casual interview so I dressed up slightly by wearing a collared shirt and khakis. Before going to the
interview I also reviewed the applications so that I would have answers ready to any questions I was
asked about for my application.
After a semester of working together and going through the pain of the storming phase my group for
HDF 190 was great. We all work well together and learned how to work well with others despite our
differences. Though it was difficult at times we learned how to effectively collaborate.
In HDF 190 we were put into groups for much of the work we were doing in the class. While in this
group we had collaborate on many assignments, these assignments were part of our grade so we
made sure that everything we did was a group effort that got everyones input before doing something.
Specifically for one project we all had to make time to meet up and work on the project and that wasnt
always easy. Even though we did face some challenges throughout the semester we worked effectively
as a group and we each did our part
Before I left for my trip to Germany over the J term I had to take a short course on German culture. In
this course I learned some key phrases I may need, some of the foods that I should try while I was
there and some stores that are different in Germany than they are in America.
When I was in Germany I was able to communicate very easily with the locals. All of Germany is
connected by some form of public transit which is similar to what we have in US cities, but these reach
even the most remote places meaning a car isnt required to travel around and going to all the
destinations we visited was very easy. It was also very easy talking with locals because even though I
am not close to fluent in German I still attempted to speak to them in German and that was very much
appreciated by the locals. The locals would acknowledge my effort and help me improve my German
then speak to me in English.

North Woods
Challenge course

HDF 190

At the north woods challenge course I was mentored to become a better facilitator. Being a better
facilitator will allow me to mentor others much better when I facilitate on the challenge course in the
future. The current facilitators of the challenge course have been mentors to me helping to improve
certain techniques for facilitation and be a better mentor to those who attend the challenge course.
Being a facilitator on the challenge course allows me to mentor many different people and though I
dont get to know them personally I am able to make a strong impact on the groups that visit.
