Future
As I studied Electrical Engineering at the TU/e in the past, I already completed all the electives I need to graduate already, and thus I will have a lot of free time during my second year. However, I want to take as an extra elective the course Brain, body & behavior (0HV40) next year. During this course, I will become familiar with basic brain function, and its relation to human behavior and human bodily processes. This course is very relevant to me because it is directly linked to my professional identity, as this knowledge will allow me to become a better behavioral designer.
Health is my chosen squad for P2 next academic year. This is because I am very interested in the way the human brain works and within this squad, I can further explore and design technologies that help the human brain function better, which aligns with my professional identity too. I want to narrow down the type of technologies I am interested in and find which type of companies I would like to do my internship with. My intention after graduating is to work part-time in a corporation while working on my own start-up on the side.
I aim to further develop whiting the expertise areas throughout my Projects and Core Design courses. All specific goals per expertise are can be found by the end of each expertise area section. They are based on the weaknesses and points of improvement I noticed per expertise area.
As have a lot of free time during my second year and I want to become an entrepreneur, I plan to start my own company in the coming year. I want to design and bring to the market an idea I have about a product that uses technology to help people reach their goals by helping build good habits. This is completely in sync with my vision and professional identity.
