Introductions – Harina Som

My name is Harina and I am a second year honors student pursuing the dual degree program in Computer Engineering and M.B.A.

  1. I enjoy science, in high school I took AP Physics and AP Chemistry. Then in college I have taken a few more Physics courses required for my engineering degree.  I enjoy Physics the most because to me Physics seems very logical and is a science used to explain life’s phenomenons such as gravity.
  2. From this course, I would like to get a deeper real world understanding of Biology because the last Biology class I took was honors bio in 9th grade, I have never taken a higher level bio class. Biology was always the science that challenged me the most. Being an engineer, I like to see the logical process when I am learning something which I was not able to see with bio. So through this class I want to get a logical understanding of the subject.
  3. I would ask questions centered around why and how. Such as why are there antibiotics in soil, how does this happen. I believe this will help me get a logical understanding.
  4. I believe students these days like to think about the big picture and how a little thing makes a big difference. So I believe students will want to know how these antibiotics found in soil can help save people and make a positive impact on the world.
  5. I believe I will learn how one persons service can have such a big impact. Then this will lead me to continue to take part in service projects and by others seeing the difference my service is making, they will join in as well.
