My Bio
Hello Everyone. My name is Andre [full name: Andre Joseph St. George May] and I'm a Duke freshman, living in G-A. I'm currently a Trinity student, but I will be switching over to Pratt come sophomore year.While in Pratt, I hope to earn a B.S in Civil Engineering. I was born in St. Andrew, Jamaica, grew up in Clarendon, Jamaica,and attended high school at Munro College in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. Three years ago, me, my mom and two younger sisters moved to Durham, NC. However, I didn't attend high school in the area. I went to Woodberry Forest School in Orange, VA (about 45 minutes from UVA. GO CAVS!!)
Name Pronunciation
My first and last name are really quite simple to pronounce. I pronounce "Andre" as An'-dray. For my last name "May" is pronounced just like the month or like in the following sentence 'Kind Sir, MAY I have a cup of you finest Earl Grey.'
Fun Fact
In Jamaica, I played four years of varsity Field Hockey for Munro College. [Hep folks, men do play field hockey.]
Trivia
Since I've moved here in the States, I've been to every state on the East Coast except one. Which one is it?
For Those of You Who Know Me
Do you really think I look like Usher? I don't think so, but complete strangers do.
Comments
A lot of you might have questions for instance; How is Munro College a high school? How long have you been in high school? or why the hell did he move to the US? If you have any questions or comments to make, post them to my Discussion page.
My Grand Challenges for Engineering Articles
I retrieved the following article from the Grand Challenges for Engineering page:
- Two Large Solar Plants Planned in California, Matthew L. Wald, NY Times, updated 14 August 2008, accessed 22 September 2010.
Demonstration Video
My favorite demonstration was the modeling of a piston, because I saw MATLAB's ability to create graphical simulations of systems and processes. I enjoyed watching how MATLAB goes about creating these simulations, for MATLAB makes the process seem easy. Also I love auto mechanics and loved seeing an electronic representation of a real-life activity.
