Dustin Anderson maintains that student, even with a modest academic standing, contribute to the ever expanding realm of the INTERNET. Then, their contributions are critiqued and generally enriched by their peers in cyberspace. This content that is added ranges anywhere from political commentary, to videos, to different works of art. Unfortunately these different forms of expression are frowned upon in our society. And quite frequently I agree with him, although I have to admit I don't contribute to the INTERNET. But many students do contribute to the INTERNET; where they seek improvement. So ya.

It is my goal to be employed in the field of mechanical engineering. The skills required of said engineer include a wide variety of problem solving and analytical skills. Although these skills are of great importance in the path to become a mechanical engineer, the ability to effectively communicate with others may possibly be of a greater importance. This is because an engineer who is excels in problem solving but cannot communicate with others is all good when he works alone but that is hardly the case anymore. The reason this is the case, is nowadays there are several if not tens of engineers on even the smallest of projects. Therefore the ability to effectively communicate my thought processes with my fellow engineer has become essential in the engineering workplace of the modern era. Theoretically one of the most important communication skills the modern engineer is required to possess is the ability to turn their thoughts into a detailed description. While it is true that all of the engineer's final thoughts would be turned into an engineering drawing, the stages of thought and improvement on that idea would require the engineers fellow engineers to try and improve upon the original concept. This requires an engineer to be effective in communicating his ideas. In conclusion a good engineer needs to be able to communicate with his fellow man.
