Hello, my name is Arian Heidari. I am a senior at Santa Monica High School, and am currently in my fourth year of the PLTW Engineering program. This year's course focuses on design and development, which are two things I hope to improve by the end of the year. We were first introduced to these things in the first year of the program, so my goal for this year's course is to improve and hone in on those skills, preparing me for engineering classes in my upper education.

I plan on focusing on computer engineering when I go to college. Currently, I want to be a hardware computer engineer, however I want to also take software engineering classes in college so I can be more knowledgeable in that field as well.
