My name is Hans Anthony Gerlain, I am 18 years old and a undergraduate college student from New York City College of Technology (City Tech).I entered City Tech because I want to be an Industrial Engineer and a product designer. A product designer is a person who creates a new product to be sold by a business to its customers. A very broad concept, it is essentially the efficient and effective generation and development of ideas through a process of creating and finding solutions of having problems with technology that we used today. It will lead to developing new products for to be sold by business. I have several reasons for picking this major, one of them is to design my own brand new products and sell them. I want to share my products with the world and people will able to use them for their own benefits. I want to have my own business company of designing and manufacturing products and to be known worldwide. These products shall change the world which is my goal for the future to help others with their daily lives of using my technology as their own tool and make their lives easier to live.

In my major of Industrial Engineering I want to design products for a living to make something new every day. I will start out by working a company for a company who designs products and has new ideas for technology able to improve our technology that we used today. The 2014-2015 New York City College of Technology Catalog tells about “The Industrial Design Technology program is designed to provide students with a wide variety of valuable skills enabling them to utilize a number of 2D,3D and animation/simulation software packages in several diverse fields” (City Tech 291).This shows me there are several jobs in this major which are design manager, animation developer, industrial design systems manager, project manager, and most of all industrial product designer. Industrial Designers have to use this program called AutoCAD also use a textbook called Engineering Graphics with AutoCAD 2014 help designers to design their object or product it teaches technical drawing using AutoCAD 2014 as its drawing instrument.Taking a step-by-step approach, it encourages students to work at their own pace and uses sample problems and illustrations to guide them through the powerful features of this drawing program. There are exercise problems provide instructors with a variety of assignments material and students with an opportunity to develop their creativity and problem-solving capabilities.After I graduated City Tech Industrial product designer that’s what I want to do and have as a job for the rest of my life to design products and to create new ideas for technology. My dream goal is to be Industrial Engineer. I have these ideas in my head that I want my designs become reality and to be different so people in the world can notice of my product designs.

A Sketch of a Product

In the world people want to see something more from technology and to see something new, unique, and to be different.I want to create the designs of my products and to be sold for business not only to make money but for my products to have recognition and more often to be bought by consumers. The products I design will involve solving the difficulties that people have with technology and to prevent them of having no problems and make the product easily helpful without making things complicated and hard to understand. I want my products to be simple and useful for others make it to be top seller and able to produce more of my products it will be unlimited never to be run out and still provide more. I also want to make a product for each company I want to sell to and able to make more money and produce more of my products.As an Industrial Engineer they work in field but it depends on their duties, Industrial Engineers work both in offices and in the settings they are trying to improve according to the American Bureau of Labor Statistics.US Department of Labor.For example, when observing problems, they may watch workers assembling parts in a factory.When solving problems, they may be in an office at a computer looking at data that they or others have collected.

It’s not all about money but it’s for the Product

The products I want to sell will expand my business to the world and share my products to people that can be a tool for their own benefits and to be useful .There’s a lot of ways for my products to be useful helpinging others whether it’s home, transportation, or work .I want to design a product each of that categories or more but its needs to be simple and useful that the consumers can have an understanding of particular product that they want to buy from me. I will own my business company and in my life finding myself helping people with their own problems with technology. I love technology and it is amazing so many ways, I want to create and build products for people to able to help them if they have problems with technology. I want my product to be patent and according to this book called The Inventor’s Times by Dan Driscoll how to patent your invention ”you can protect your ideas with the help of your government’s Patent Office”. He also explains that your inventions has to have a purpose and to be unique or one of a kind. If the Patent Office knows that a similar invention already exists then they won’t give a patent. Unfortunately, you’ll also have to pay a fee for this and it can be a lot of money but if you created a good invention, it might be worth it.The United Sates Patent and Trademark Office, an agency of the Department of Commerce defines a patent as a right to a inventor “to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States”.If someone illegal copy the invention without their permission or stole someone’s invention will be arrested and sued for theft.

In my semester during City Tech, I had a chance to have my interview with my adviser named Professor Andy S. Zhang to talk about my major and he explain about what is the true purpose of Industrial Engineer he says “Industrial designers they design shape of a product and if Industrial companies likes the shape of it they will hire you for the job”. He also explain that there is a competition that the companies will only hired designers to see who is the best designer in that field and it means a lot of students who graduated from City Tech with the a degree of industrial design it’s hard to look for jobs and the companies are choosing people who has more skills and more artistic in designing to able to get hired and join the company. When Zhang told me about this it motivated me to work even harder and I want to be the best designer because I want my ideas and designs become reality, and to have recognition of my work.

The Product

When I own a business company I believe I can achieve great accomplishments that the world never sees. To able to use technology for a good purpose and help the world, make a difference with technology to solve the world’s greatest problems. I believe dreams don’t come true just because you wish for them; you have to fight to make them real. I will able to achieve my dream because I have potential to change the world for the better and to achieve greatness. I want Industrial designers to have that passion and determined to not give up on your designs or your ideas also to provide them with hope and dreams. To able to put your heart and soul to your designs even if you feel like it’s not good enough and failed miserably but you have to constantly keep on trying and never give up. It’s time for you to stop looking at the process it takes to get what you want in life , and start looking at the results when you overcome the obstacles that you struggle with.I viewed the world differently and people in the world need to see a change in technology and I will provide for them. If you passion about designing or creating new products don’t let anyone or the world stops you from doing things that you love to do even if the companies doesn’t like your ideas and your designs you have stay positive and be confident. Good things will happen to you if you love what you do then you never have to work a day in your life.

Introduction :

In this project I have the opportunity to share my thoughts with you and how I feel about them,hopefully make a difference of your life. I wanted to start out saying “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic it takes sweat, determination, and hard-work”. I believe people who work very hard in their life that they can achieve big things as long you believe yourself.If you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe than you will be successful, you need to find the right determination and overcome your obstacles to able succeed in life. I have these thoughts in my head about myself, my family, and the world itself. The most part of my life is that I viewed the world differently and the people in the world need to realize they have fear in their hearts and afraid to do anything with their life. I realized that fear stops people for not trying to achieve their dreams, they are afraid to able to become successful. All I know is that I want to live my life to the fullest and not be afraid of everything that stands in my way.

Thinking in Writing :

Wake up from sleeping
Workout in my room
Make Breakfast
go for a run outside and play ball
Do Home work and eat pizza
Play video games
Sketching in my notebook.
Learning how to use my autocad on my computer
Being with Dad in his car talk about basketball all day
Telling my mom I love her everyday with all my heart
My older sisters will always look after me and also pick on me
I sit in my room and think about will I be successful in my life
End of the day I always wonder what future stores for me
As long I keep on living and breathing
I be fine , and all I want is to become engineer

Thinking Visually :

This is my drawing of a rose but it’s very unique and beautiful

“A True Beauty of a Rose”

This is a outline of a design from a textbook in my engineering drawing class and it’s called “Guide Gasket Outline”.

This is the same design “Guide Gasket” but I did it on the computer with a software program called AutoCAD.

Thinking Rhetorically and Reflectively :

My name is Hans Anthony Gerlain, I am eighteen years old college student in New York City of Technology or commonly known as City Tech. I want to study of mechanical and industrial engineering I want to learn both because I want to design and build one of my products in the future. My dream goal is to be product designer, to designed products for a living to make something new everyday. I have these thoughts in my head that I want to make something new and to be different so everybody can notice of my design. I want to create a design and to able to use technology for a good purpose in the world, some people say the technology it’s bad for the environment and can cause bad health conditions for the people, animals, and mostly the environment. . I will find a way to not harm the environment, there are possibilities I have to be determined and confident in my ability to find a safe way to not harm environmental and protect the people from machinery. I want to also technology to help people who have problems in their daily life and to use it in safe way without causing harm to them. In the past I was dealing with computers, cars, and robotics-fixing, drawing new ideas of a design, and taking care of modern technology but I want to do something extraordinary or unique with technology. Researching about the world and its problems that society has been dealing with. I want to get my future job as an engineer and to own a business company in my life finding myself helping people with their own problems with technology.

I have a regular life and I may have problems at first but I can overcome them with faith by my side also most of all family .I am family person, I truly love my family with all my heart and do anything to support them because they motivated me to be in college and have a career which is to be an engineer. Without family there’s no one will love and support you or even cared about your dreams that you want to achieve in life. Be grateful that you have family that will always be there for you no matter what. Always honor them with your heart and be loyal to your family. They will guide you and give you courage to keep on going with your life and motivate to overcome your obstacles that stand in your way. Live your life to the fullest and be who you are and what you want to be because everybody is looking for a leader and people will look up to you as an inspiration, you can be their leader. Inspire people and motivated them to be better than they were before. Give people an opportunity and provided them with hope and dreams. It’s time for you to stop looking at the process it takes to get what you want in life , and start looking at the results when you overcome the obstacles that you struggle with. You may fall felt like giving up sometimes the best thing you can do is not to give up. If you do fall always have the strength to get yourself back up and keep on going, start over and try again.

I have a passion for sketching and coloring I want my artwork to be unique and beautiful to share my art to the world and see my future gallery. One of my thoughts I usually sketch in my notebook to plan out my ideas and my creativity that helps me to design for the future. There’s a photo I took it’s my artwork of a rose but it’s not a regular rose that you see outside in a garden. It’s very unique and it came out perfect to my eyes. It took me 3 day just to finish it and became what I vision it. I learned that an artist, designer, or even painter it takes time to finish your project and you have to be patient with your artwork. Put your heart and soul to your design even if you feel like it’s not good enough and failed miserably but you have to keep on trying and never give up. If you passion about something don’t let anyone or the world stops you from doing things that you love to do. Stay positive, good things will happen to you if you love what you do; you never have to work a day in your life.

In this 2nd photo is I was in my engineering drawing class it’s a design from a textbook. I was analyzing and studying the design it was difficult at first but I overcome my problem and able to do it on the computer which leads to the 3rd photo of the design. This program we have to use in class on the computer it’s called AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a software program for engineers that they use to design and modify objects such as a wheel, screw, and any objects. A software program for 2D or 3D computer-aided design to create objects in the computer. I want to use AutoCAD to help to design and create my products and the making of cars and I’m learning currently how to use in class. I want use AutoCAD for my future projects and to design more of my artwork it could be a regular object or a master piece. I know want to use for a big design and build a product that can be useful for people. In the world people want to see something more from technology and to see something new, unique, and to be different. To use this program in order to help me to achieve that goal and in the future I will continue on using AutoCAD.

In the future I want to be an engineer and in order to achieve that is to have faith with myself. No matter how hard things get or how badly you want to give up, you keep on going. Sometimes you just want to let go when it seems like what you’re going for is just out of reach, and sometimes you tell yourself if you what you’re trying to get is worth the great amount of effort that you put in it. When things get hard, you start thinking that it’s not worth it but let me tell you this, the more pain and suffering you put into something, the better it’ll feel when you get it. I will use this dream to help others in need because of my ideas for the world and technology we use today. I love technology are very interesting to me and amazing so many ways, I want to create and build products for people to able to help them if they have problems with technology  in their daily life. I will work so hard to own a business company of creating products and thinking ideas for the people and world. To able to use technology for a good purpose and help the world, make a difference of living with technology. I believe dreams don’t come true just because you wish for them; you have to fight to make them real. I will able to achieve my dream because I have potential to change the world for the better.I able to find the real person inside of me and become self sufficient and do things what I love to do and becoming engineer is important to me. I don’t worry about what society say about me I have goal and a vision to see myself to live happily and not worry about my problems that involved in my life. I always will put effort in my work and achieve my goals, temptations always try to get the best of me but I’m not going to let that stop me from reaching my goals that I want to achieve. I do everything in my power to get myself in the right path and becoming a successful person.
