Why I Fell in Love with Engineering

The Spark of Curiosity

As a child, I was always fascinated by how things worked. I would spend hours taking apart and reassembling toys, appliances, and even my siblings' gadgets. This curiosity led me to ask questions like 'how does this work?' or 'what's inside?' which often left adults puzzled.

I remember one particular instance where I disassembled a broken toy car and tried to fix it. My parents were shocked when they saw the mess, but I was thrilled to have learned something new. This experience sparked a fire within me, and I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in engineering.

The Power of Problem-Solving

As I grew older, my curiosity only intensified. I began to realize that engineering wasn't just about taking things apart but also about creating innovative solutions to real-world problems.

I was amazed by the impact engineers had on society – from designing sustainable infrastructure to developing life-saving medical devices. It became clear to me that this field wasn't just a job, but a way to make a positive difference in people's lives.

The Joy of Collaboration

I soon discovered that engineering wasn't just about individual genius but also about teamwork and collaboration. I was blown away by the camaraderie among engineers, who worked together to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.

I realized that this field wasn't just about solving problems but also about building relationships and fostering a sense of community. It's an incredible feeling knowing that you're part of something bigger than yourself.
