Introduction

Hello everyone my name is Bradley Howard, I am from Naples, Florida, and I am a first year in Pratt. I currently am thinking about studying civil or environmental engineering, but I honestly could not tell you where I will end up.

Name Pronunciation

My name is really easy to say. It's said almost exactly how it looks. My full name is Bradley Howard, which would be said as BRAD-lee HOW-erd. But I go by Brad.

Grand Challenges for Engineering

After searching for an article, I found one that interested me: How a Pacific Island Changed From Diesel to 100% Solar Power, Daniel Lin, National Geographic, 23 February 2017, 14 September 2017 (Make solar energy economical)

MATLAB

My favorite demonstration was the "Three-Dimensional Knot" demonstration. I really enjoyed it because it truly shows the extent of MATLAB's application to so many different things. Also, it reinforces my appreciation and liking of engineering because it shows me that there are so many things that I will be able to do. This small demonstration proves to me why I wanted to go into engineering in the first place; almost any thought or idea can be created through the use of technology.
