My Personal Goal of Becoming a Mechanical Engineer

After finishing high school I will be attending St. Clair for their fast track power engineering program learning things like the operation of steam boilers and more depending on how far i go with the tickets, and if I decide to move away or stay close to home. First off in the power engineering field I have to know things from the operation of steam boilers, to refrigeration systems and more. Second there are different classes of power engineering ranging from the fourth class to the first class ticket with different salaries and places to work with each ticket. Lastly if I end up not being able to get a job in power engineering there are other options I could branch into with this course. After finishing high school and attending St. Clair for power engineering all these things need to be taken into account when figuring out where I will finally end up with my career.

I researched, selected and assembled the components of my computer from scratch for my 13th birthday. Science is my favorite subject because I like to think about ways I can make the world better and more energy efficient. One of my favorite things to do at night is theorize about science and engineering topics. Most of the time I have a hard time getting to sleep because I can't stop thinking. I am currently trying to find new ways to desalinate water in an environmentally clean way. In 5th grade I competed in two Lego Mindstorms competitions and I won both. The first competition was to make the coolest robot and I made a walking robot. The second competition was a tug of war. I won by using gears, six wheel drive and some extra weight. When I had Autodesk class I liked to think of creative solutions to finish the assignments. I tried to use the instructions only if I had been stuck for a long time. I enjoy spending time at after school engineering clubs. In 6th grade I participated in two after school hands-on engineering programs. In 6th and 7th grade I went to a program called SPARCS. We met on Saturdays once per month and did fun activities with engineering students from NCSU. I was just accepted into NC-MSEN Pre-College Program which involves afternoon classes at Centennial as well as weekend classes at

Did you know that LEGOs can boost young children’s engineering skills (MIT School of Engineering)? It’s true! Studies show that LEGOs can prove important for developing skills used later in life. From pink, to blue, to long or thick, LEGOs are building blocks that come in all colors, shapes and sizes. With dots on the top, and holes on the bottom, LEGOs are designed to interlock enable to form structures. LEGOs help many young children develop skills such as early engineering, fine motor skills, an creativity.

When I was little I loved building things. I built complicated Rube Goldberg machines, Lego cities, and towering snow forts. However, I did not know that I wanted to go into a engineering field until my experience in the Madison West Rocket Club.

Finding out how and why things work and discovering how products are made has always my passion. I regularly watch engineering and science shows on the television. From my childhood, I have always been a very curious person who would not believe just because someone told me, but I had to know the reason behind it. Science always fascinated me, and I always wondered how we remained on the ground and never fell off something that is spherical. In school I was more interested in maths and science rather than History or Arts and this made me choose Chemistry, maths and physics as my Higher subjects. This has helped me appreciate how Science has been utilised to improve man’s life and make it easier. It is because of this that I would like to

Though I have varied interests, ranging from Linux to microbiology, my focus is now on engineering. This interest in engineering started out from a young age. As any other “stereotypical nerd,” I often disassembled anything that I could put my hands on, be it an RC car or my dad’s TI-8250 printing desk calculator. Later in my educational career however, I realized that I could pursue a profession following my curiosity and love of math and science. To begin this pursuit, I applied to Texas A&M for a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

My first step is of becoming a mechanical engineer taking early classes on the career and the need classes in high school and going to college. Those regular classes are higher leveled math, physics, and chemistry. There are also some high schools have engineering programs available. I am also looking forward to taking internships. To become an engineer you must have a master’s degree or a bachelor’s or master’s in engineering, science, technology, mechanical engineering,or applied science. The difference in the bachelor’s or master’s is the amount of money you’ll make and gain a competitive advantage, but it’s about two years longer in college for the master’s. I am looking forward to the future of my life. I’ll take a lot of effort and I have to be very industrious with my work in school.

When I was a freshman, I took an engineering class not knowing anything about engineering. My teacher, Mr. Chubb, was also a mentor. He asked us to research the different types of engineering to see which field interested us. When I read about biomedical engineering, I knew that was the type of engineering I'd like to do. It includes designing robotic prosthetics to help people with physical disabilities overcome their challenges. Mr. Chubb encouraged us to join our school's robotic team to design and compete with robots. Competing was fun and exciting. From then on, I knew engineering was for me. This will be my 4th year in robotics. Engineering teaches me new ways to solve problems. San Antonio is home to many retired and wounded

“Who thinks they might be interested in engineering as a career?” I asked my class of sixth graders. “UGH. NO,” replied tall blonde Emily. She continued, “Wait. What is that?”

The next four years of my life will determine the direction of my future. In the near future, I plan to go to college to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. With this degree I hope to become a person who has the necessary skills and knowledge to find innovative ways to solve problems. Advancements in technology revolutionize the way people interact on a day-to-day basis. Someone must be bold enough to lead teams of thinkers to view reality as it can be, instead of accepting present limitations.

I constantly daydream about my future career and what I could expect with it, but sometimes I don’t realize that I wont know much about the job until I actually try it out. As my research on the SECME sponsors and my own personal experiences have shown, engineering extends beyond the lab. It's not hard to see how my future career can have profound effects on the lives of many others. For example, I could one day use new technology developed by engineers to make the process of saving someone’s life a lot easier and have better survival odds. Or possibly someday we could use robotic technology to help people walk again. Although I would not be making this new kind of technology myself, it would be amazing if I could use it to change someone’s life. It's mind-blowing how far a career in STEM can take me and others who are willing to pursue these kinds of

Before I started working on this essay I had no clue of what I was going to do. I had looked at a few technical schools and that was all the further I had gone. I have always liked to work on vehicles of any kind. My parents thought I would like being an auto technician.

My whole life I have always wanted to become a successful engineer, and graduate from the University of Cincinnati. Some of my goals in life are to go to the University of Cincinnati. Another one of my goals is to become some type of engineer. But as of right now I would like to be a aerospace engineer. To be honest I really don’t know what influenced me to want to become and engineer. But something about engineering always appealed to me for some reason. But lately my engineering teacher has had a positive impact on me and is really making me like engineering and the overall field. So I guess that Mr. Smith has influenced me into being an engineer. My plan b is to be an engineer too. But this type of engineering would just be easier to

During my childhood days, I have always enjoyed making things with Lego blocks, as I grew up I started to build slightly bigger versions of these. I really like the idea of problem solving and this is when I realised that construction is something which I would be keen to pursue it as my career. Therefore decided to take up Civil Engineering degree from Liverpool John Moores University. After successful completion of my degree I would apply my academic knowledge to the real world problems and then try to bring a difference in the society.

Engineers are generally particular in the way in which they are formulated to think and react within certain situations. They are developed from childhood and raised to problem-solve, communicate well, pay attention to detail, and to derive differential equations. While these required skills to be an engineer can be learned, they are better and lead to more success when they come naturally and are developed at a younger age, comparable to learning a language. This may not always be the case but luckily for me I have this benefit of developing my skills early. Pushing forward my success as an engineer, I have developed problem solving skills, a heavy influence on the idea of the production of a working and efficient final product, and a natural love for science and learning.
