Every moment of your daily routines has an impact on who you are. Whether you realize it or not everyone faces challenges daily and how each person faces these challenges is what makes a person unique. I see engineering the same way, a challenge that someone needs to solve and that is the reason I found myself loving engineering. The word “Engineering” seems complicated and difficult to comprehend to most; however, for me, I see it as a means of expressing my creativity to the problem and the solution is the art.

College is similar in a way, we are given a set of problems from our professors to find our creativity to the problem and how each student approach the problem was different. These differences could lead to innovations that could greatly impact the world.

For my first professional project, I was allowed to develop an alternative to Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). This project was conducted with a ground of using equipment that was available to us at the time. After a couple of months of design work, the prototype was complete. The Prototype was not at all what the client had hope for; nonetheless, the client was ecstatic with how it functions which had provided a new approach to the problem and from there a new potential to the finished product. This is what keeps me going, an endless cycle that will continuously create innovation.

The most important thing that school has taught me is that education is a means to an end, we must always pursue what each value as important. Most importantly, in my life, I see that I majored in mechanical and electrical engineering to broaden my creativity to approach the problem and this will help me become someone who is inspiring.
