SHAWN ROSSELET
My name is Shawn Rosselet and this is my digital portfolio to be used to establish a professional online identity. Developing an online identity allows for future employers to gain insight to my personality, my academic career, and my professional goals for the future. Included are two writing samples that showcase my writing and communication skills and background information that provides insight to my educational history.
I am currently an undergraduate student in the College of
Engineering. I am working on attaining my bachelor’s degree in mechanical and
aerospace engineering at the University of Florida with the intent on getting
my master’s degree in business. I have always held my education in high regard,
and thus have tried to challenge myself throughout my academic career.
I received the vast majority of my education at the Dubai American
Academy in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I had known since I was in elementary
school that a career in engineering was in my future. Since then, I have
tailored my classes to best prepare me for the large amounts of science and
math I knew I would be required to do in the future. In high school, I was on
my way to achieving my International Baccalaureate Diploma with a rigorous
schedule consisting of higher level math and science classes. Unfortunately, my
family moved away from Dubai to a small town in Florida where I completed my
last year of high school. Moving in the middle of IB (where courses are two
years long) ruined my chances of getting my IB diploma, so I graduated high
school with certificates in certain classes instead. Despite the huge setback
in my education, I gained acceptance into the University of Florida, where I
have been determined to take a rigorous course-load and excel academically.
I am currently about to finish my fourth semester of university,
having completed courses (and their prerequisites) such as Calculus 3, Computer
Aided Graphics and Design, Physics 2 with Calculus, Statics, and Professional
Communications for Engineers, among others. I have developed many diverse
skills that are relevant to my intended field of work such as 3D visualization
and sketching, solid modeling, basic Java and professional writing and
communication skills.
It is in my hopes to be able to professionally apply my
newly attained skills and knowledge from my academic history to internships
and/or jobs in the near and distant future. As a future engineer, the ability to efficiently and accurately communicate ideas within the professional environment is vital. I have consciously been developing my professional writing skills, and in order to showcase my college composition skills as a technical writer, I have provided links to two samples of my writing below.
WRITING SAMPLE #1: INSTRUCTION MANUAL
This instruction manual was written in the Fall of 2014, for a Professional Communications course at the University of Florida. In this manual, I provide detailed instructions and accompanying visuals in order to assist readers on the correct method of propagating a coleus plant.
WRITING SAMPLE #2: TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Writing Sample #2
This technical definition essay was written for the same course specified above. In this essay, I analyze the definition of 'transmitter' as it relates to the field of mechanical engineering.
