Problem-solving is an integral element of engineering, and one of my major strength. It is a versatile profession, working for the betterment of life and has a better career prospect than any other profession.
The things that seem to fascinate me to be an engineer is the complexity of the problems and the way they provide the solution to the problems. They provide what method to apply in order to produce the most elegant solution. They have to think creatively. These sorts of problems exist all over the place and consequently, my interest in problem-solving and creative thinking goes well beyond the walls of the classroom.

There are amazing job options and employment prospects. Using the knowledge of engineering, I want to solve and analyze different problems. I have chosen this field because I want to use my skills for the benefits of society. They have an influence on every field of work. They invent medical tools to facilitate in surgeries and different types of machinery to speed up the industrial work. Engineers open the door to a better future.

Another major drawcard of being a professional engineer is that engineering is a global profession. It is needed everywhere in the world, hence provides a great opportunity to get jobs anywhere around the world.
Engineers are meant not to just please themselves but also others – since they are the one who will help people towards a better life. Therefore, to be an engineer would be a great honour for me.
