Reflection Prompts
| 1: Are you ready for the college experience? What did I come to the U of I to achieve? What does it mean to you? Write about the impact you want to make in the world as an engineer and how you envision your academic career unfolding to allow you get that started. |
| 2: Think about your upcoming college experience. What are your strengths? In what areas do you need support? |
| 3: The habits and approaches you had in high school got you to college but will not get you through college. The successful engineering student embraces the college learning process through persistence, adaptation, and learning from mistakes. Reflect on times where you've had to work through difficult problems and found solutions-- both academically an in other areas or your life. |

Scavenger Hunt
| UIUC's Public Affairs hasn't updated their webpage on all of the historical markers on campus. Here is one....can you find the others? |
| Illite and Clay Mineralogy (West side of Natural History Building) A leading research of clay minerals (which constitute 40% of all sedimentary rock), Professor Ralph Early Grim discovered the mineral illite and opened a new field of geological study, clay mineralogy. Grim's work led to important advances in soil mechanics and new industrial uses of clay minerals in oil refining, drilling and ceramics. |
| The correct response to "Who are We?" is 020301 010104 020101. |
