Hello all! My name is Atiya (Fariha) Khan and welcome to the beginning of my journey through the world of product creation. I am a first year student at Wellesley College and my favorite subject has always been history. Hence, I am entering in as a History major but I'm not fully decided on my major or future yet.
In my exploration to find what interests me, this class was suggested to me by my roommate and the concept of the class was really unique to me. I never considered engineering as a career path because my experiences with math and science were horrible in high school and I was never exposed to the work of engineers in a classroom setting. However, I want to see if my experience in this class will change all that. I think I learning how products are designed, made, and disassembled is a grand opportunity, one that I did not want to waste. What makes it even better is that its goals include teaching how to apply the skills learned in class to work or help nonprofit organizations. I hope to learn about the techniques used by designers and engineers to create products that help the masses. Maybe, this class will encourage me to pursue engineering but if I find that this path won't suit me, I'll be equally happy to learn everything I can from this class.
Something interesting about me (well, at least I like to think so) was that I played the nervous, comic relief Mr. Smee (Captain Hook's right-hand mate) in my middle school's production of Peter Pan and got to do a duet with our Peter Pan singing "Never Smile at a Crocodile."
