Greetings,
It is a my senior year of High School and I have to complete what is known as the Culminating Project in order to graduate. The topic of the Culminating Project has to be something with career applications; well I have been into computers for a long time and I have been into programming for several years so the obvious choice for me was Embedded System Engineering. Note that the project has to be something that is a learning stretch so doing just programming would not work for me.
Cutting to the chase, in order to complete this project in a satisfactory manner and graduate I have to obtain a mentor. The only "restriction" for the mentor is that it is someone who has been involved in the specialty for
2 or more years. As my mentor I will only require 30 minutes to 2+ hours of your time spread out across 3 months (I would prefer to get it done within a couple days of obtaining a mentor), although at this time I see no reason why I should have to take more then 1 hour of your time. All you will need to do is fill out a very short evaluation form, which I will send to you, answer career related questions I ask you in interview form, most likely via email so no stress, and finally answer any minor questions I may have.
To summarize: I won't need a lot of your time, it will not be anything strenuous, and it will help me a lot in completing the last thing I need to accomplish before graduating.
If you would be willing to act as my mentor or have any questions before deciding please contact me.
Thanks,
