ASAE Quad City Section Newsletter - qcesc

Next summer, I am planning to complete an
internship in a biological engineering position. I am
hoping that this experience will help me decide if
environmental or genetic/biotechnology engineering
is a better fit for me. After graduation, I plan to
earn my masters degree in an area of specialization
within biological engineering and then proceed to
enter the workforce in an industry or research
position.
Outside of engineering, I have many interests. One
of these is music. I have been playing the piano for
13 years, and I have made it a goal to play for the
church I attend after graduation. I am active in the
Mosaic church at OSU, and I plan to continue my
involvement in this church during my remaining time
at OSU.
Although I am no longer aspiring to become a
cookie engineer, I am striving to use my interests
and abilities to become an engineer that will make a
difference and improve the environment and/or
biotechnology. I am confident that I will be
successful in my pursuit, and I look forward to my
continued journey toward achieving this and all of
my other goals.”
Bethany wrote the following note of thanks: “Thank
you for sponsoring the scholarships for two college
students studying agricultural engineering or related
majors. I am honored to be one of the recipients for
the 2005­2006 school year, and I appreciate your
generosity in providing this financial aid. I am a
second­year biological engineering major at The
Ohio State University, where I am very involved in
the Bio­Environmental Student Design Team
through OSU’s student chapter of the ASAE. I can
assure you that this scholarship will be put to the
utmost use, as I am a dedicated engineering student
who upholds a high academic standard. Please
accept my apology for not being present at your
meeting, but I hope you are having a successful
gathering. Once again, thank you for your support,
and I look forward to my continued involvement in
the ASAE.”
