My major is plastics engineering. Every time i tell people that, i get the "what the heck is that look". Basically plastics engineering is processing,design, development and manufacturing of plastics through the application of math, science, and engineering.
Plastics are believed to be one of the most versatile products on earth and because of that it is incorporated in many products we use in our everyday lives. Think about it and check it out!
I am blessed to have gotten into the only university in the nation accredited for an undergraduate plastics engineering program; UMass Lowell, whoop whoop!
So far I have learned a lot and I am happy to pursue this major for the next four years.
The one thing i recently learned about plastics is that even though it is this great product, it could also be damaging to our earth. This is something plastic engineers have to think about. We must come up with solutions to prevent the environmental and ecological harm plastic can cause on this earth. This brings me to the point of this post.
Heres a fact: Americans use 2,500,000 plastics bottles every hour and most of them are thrown away instead of being recycled. This got me thinking, and now I'm doing everything in my power to prevent that. Recycling has become a priority for me and I want to encourage others to do the same.
