“In no more than three pages, tell us about an idea or a project that you are interested in exploring while at PGS, how you would contribute to our learning community and how you plan to balance school, work, and personal commitments while enrolled in the program.”
____________________________________

Background: I would like to pursue a career in the “sustainable energy” field (green energy/ ecological entrepreneurship)

– I am very concerned about the environment and would like to have a career in the clean energy field.

– I am deeply affected by the idea of “zero waste” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_waste Main project:

– I would like to focus specifically on “electric cars” (hybrids/ TESLA… etc)

My goal is to make it more popular and more common. Not only do I wish to obtain the necessary technical information, I also want to learn the “how- to” of starting a new concept and making it more widely accepted.

– Reference: Harry Potter -> Unlike the majority of people who prefer the all powerful wands, I am more attracted to the broomsticks. It has style and speed, but absolutely no waste/ gas.

– Maybe in 10 years, when we watch the latest Batman sequel, the bat mobile will not have so much smoke and gas when it zooms off. Instead, it will be a “clean” electric car because that is the norm. – Would balance life in business by maintaining my current life style: read, exercise, and read some more. I enjoy reading and appreciate the fact that I can look into different “worlds” in each book. I am sure a lot of ideas come from the “zoning off/ dat dreaming” times while reading.
_____________________________________

(If it’s okay, do you think we can start off the essay with something along the lines of: Even though my favorite character from the Harry Potter series is the scholastic and blanched Potion Master Severus Snape, my favorite item is not the scalding potions or the all powerful wands, it’s actually the broomsticks. Because it has both style and speed. Most importantly, it is eco-friendly and doesn’t emit waste/ gas…etc)

“Describe a defining moment in your life, and explain how it shaped you as a person.”

I would like to use the same quote: “Pleasure is the only thing to live for. Nothing ages like happiness” – Oscar Wilde

When I was in elementary school, I was diagnosed with a heart condition and spent almost one year in the hospital. There were times when the doctors think I would not make it and my parents signed waivers/ acknowledgement. The incident affected my ways of thinking and I had chosen to live in the moment. However, as I grow older, I realized that i must take responsibility and make this world a better place by being eco-friendly. I would like to make sure that the Earth is well so if the future generation have the choice to live for pleasure if they choose to. (Like I did) (I have always been conscientious about being “green” because I think it is of the ultimate importance to respect all life forms – plants as well as human beings – hence recycling and taking care of the earth…) It is only fair to let the future generation have a “choice”. Bringing un-ageble happiness to the Earth is my new life-long pleasure.

For this assignment, take your questions carried forward from Unit 1, modified if appropriate after my comments, and expand each in the following ways:
1. Restate your research questions as a hypothesis, if possible, or indicate what hypotheses might emerge in the course of the project.
2. Take your first cut on the kinds of information you would collect, the means by which you would collect it, and how you would aggregate and analyze it.
3. Speculate on what issues might emerge involving extraneous variables and/or problems with constructs or constants, and how you might address them.
4. Indicate what possible conclusions you might anticipate emerging from the work and if you think one is the most likely, and say why.
(Remember that this is a design course and that your final Unit 5 project will be a paper describing a fully-fledged design, but not a paper describing the results of that design actually carried out. One of your design criteria, however, needs to be feasibility—you should be able to carry out the proposed work yourself, assisted only by friends and colleagues. Or, if additional resources would be needed, indicate how you realistically propose to acquire them.)
