January 8th to 14th, Module 1, marks our first working week of the semester and of this program. My team and I used our meeting as an opportunity to get on the same page about communication, how we will interact, and what tools we will use.
For the CSUMB and SCD introduction, learning about the history of the campus and the university's mission was interesting. One of the things that struck me was the founding date. It was only founded in 1994. I am certain that the university's progressive, forward thinking vision has a lot to do with this. I read the value statement and appreciate what CSUMB has set out to do.
The writing prep module was interesting in that it was a reminder that even though all institutions have formalized writing practices, they aren't all the same. For example, up until this point, I had only been exposed to MLA style formatting. This is my first time using APA. I don't point it out because it impacts the work itself or the difficulty of an assignment. It's just an observation of something new.
The industry analysis assignment was a good chance to learn about an industry that I was already interested in - space technology. Almost like an excuse to do some due diligence. I recently was hired to work at a company in the space technology industry and my curiosity has only grown since then. There are interesting problems that revolve around fault tolerance, reliability, and longevity for devices operating remotely in inhospitable environments. This assignment was a great opportunity for me to look at what some of the big players in this industry are doing.
