Individual Portfolio

Just as a CV/resume gives a look at your educational and professional responsibilities and accomplishments, portfolios show prospective employers your competence in technical and soft-skill areas. An engineer’s portfolio is another tool to pique the interests of possible employers and engage them in a discussion about your experience.

A portfolio should represent the individual, which means their design can vary greatly. Good portfolios, however, should have unity between all of the pages, be easy to read, and be aesthetically pleasing (i.e. no blurry pictures or super tiny/large font). In addition to these things, for this individual assignment, your portfolio must include:

Your name and contact information (email, etc.)
Note: You do not need to submit personal information like real phone numbers or mailing addresses, but we need to see effort/professionalism was considered in formatting.
A 1-page (~500 words) reflective statement that demonstrates your thoughtful selection of artifacts (i.e. examples of your work) within your portfolio. This statement should not be a summary of the work you completed but should be reflective of what you learned and the skills you have obtained. Your reflective statements should expressly cover: (1) what skills/knowledge are demonstrated by the items you include in your portfolio, (2) how the individual items are related (beyond just being course assignments), and (3) what you learned from completing them.
An overview for at least 3 course assignments (of your choosing). Each overview should contain at least 1 representative image of your work with a label and at least 3 bullet points, which detail what was completed and how. Examples can be seen on pages 3-8 of the pdf here . (Note: We do not expect the same volume of bullet points as in the example.)
An overview of your contribution to the final course project. You should include at least 3 images, with clear labeling, and at least 5 bullet points in your overview. These 5 bullet points need to represent: a brief description of the project, key results/outcomes of the project, and specifically what you did in the group project.
