Week 11 Reading Part B

For part B of my week 11 reading, I chose to cover the second half of the YouTube videos on Krishna. Similar to part A of this week’s readings, I enjoyed the use of illustration to convey the messages of Krishna’s story. It makes the story much easier to follow and helps keep track of who is who. Secondly, I loved the drama involved in Krishna’s story. With assasination attempts, the overthrow of rulers, war, and ascensions, this story is definitely one to keep you on your toes, and doesn’t progress slowly like some of the other stories we have read. Lastly, I liked learning about the different incarnations of Krishna. The idea of incarnation is something I’ve been aware of but haven’t really learned much about, so it was been cool to hear that aspect of religion from these stories.

I've applied to everything from basic engineering positions to consulting and technical positions, as well as financial and management positions. It seems that there is high demand for people with engineering degrees, and mechanical engineering may be the most broad of them all. The best class I took last semester was Engineering Leadership. It was a 4000 level course, and was very different compared to the other classes I took. Almost all of my engineering courses up to this point have been about engineering fundamentals and how to apply those to problem solving. None except Engineering Leadership talked about how you think as an

Week 5 Story: The Return of Sita

Image
After several long days they were finally back together, and it was hard to believe that what they’d been through was real. Congressman Rama sat in embrace with Sita and thought about what had transpired.  3 days ago, Rama had been cleaning up the kitchen after dinner when he heard a scream come from the living room. He took off towards the room only to find a broken window and shattered glass covering the floor.  “Sita? Sita!”, he called out, but no answer was heard.  When the police arrived to their home, an investigation began, and it was determined that Sita had been kidnapped. By who they weren’t sure, but it seemed like Rama had been targeted due to his powerful position.  A few days passed without.a word. The police continued their investigation efforts, and Rama drove around town trying to find anyone who may be able to help, but nothing turned up. Then suddenly on the third day, Rama left his home to find a note taped to the front door. The note appeared to be
