What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project?
I do not really have to many questions at the moment besides knowing the exact requirements. I would also like to know how many sources and interviews are required/used throughout the whole process?
What has been the most important part about the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?
From what I have seen, the most important part of the senior project is actually learning and understanding things from your topic. Most of this, as I saw, came from actually doing the mentorship consistently and taking it seriously. Then you use all of the knowledge acquired to come up with the 3 answers to your essential question.
What topic are you considering doing and why?
I am considering doing something in the engineering field, specifically aeronautical or aerospace engineering. I consider engineering to be something I am highly interested in right now and as a future career. I really enjoy math and have taken calculus and such to help me get there, and I think doing it as a senior project will really help me understand it on a much greater level. The aeronautical and aerospace part stem from the fact that I think space and engineering are cool and it puts them both together, as well as missiles and airplanes.
What are you doing for your summer mentorship?
Currently, I am in the process of getting one at NASA's JPL. My mother has friends who are aerospace engineers there and have gotten me in touch with the internship advisers and other people at this place. If this does not go through, I will possibly get in touch with someone at my parent's work who is an engineer.
