119 Research Reflection by Allison Sveum

Faculty Mentor: Eric Robertson (Honors College, University of Utah)

This paper was a piece of the final project for the class HONOR 2211. My original attitude towards this class was that it’s just another writing class I need in order to graduate. Being able to work with Eric Robertson throughout this process made this paper truly special. All semester, we built little pieces of our essay, and once I compiled them all, I was left with a paper I am really proud of. I picked this topic because I think prosthetics are really cool and it’s a niche within my major, biomedical engineering. After this paper, I believe that my future career may have something to do with prosthetics. This paper changed my attitude towards this class and my major; it was truly so impactful and inspiring.
