What made you choose engineering as a career field?

When I was 10 years old, my father taught me how to build customized computers from scratch. This had sparked my interest in electronics and engineering. I would often tear apart my electronics or computers to figure out how it they works. In most cases, I ended up breaking them and naturally my parents were not happy with it. Therefore, I was inspired to expand my goal in not just understanding how it works, but how to fix it as well. Now, they ask me to fix everything that breaks.  By the time I was 16, I had built enough confidence in my abilities to build and repair computers professionally for a period of 7 seven years. I initially wanted to be a computer scientist. However, I wanted to be capable of designing the hardware as well as programming the firmware and/or software. Thus, I decided to become an Electrical Engineer.

What advice do you have to anyone considering pursuing a career in engineering?

Embrace the possibility of failure as perseverance will ultimately lead to success. With every problem encountered, there is an opportunity for growth and an exponential increase in your capabilities. Continually seek knowledge and wisdom throughout your entire career as being an Engineer is to be forever a student that is continually learning how to create innovative solutions to a multitude of ideas or problems. “The engineer has been, and is, a maker of history.” - James Kip Finch

What made you choose engineering as a career field?

One of the primary reasons I chose engineering as a career field is that I like to question, explore, and create. I am passionate about this field because I can help society improve and innovate through it. One of my professional goals in life is to develop systems that will help my community in their daily lives. It thrills me the idea that I can help society a lot with this career, making new inventions that can help entertain society and be a new evolution to the world, just like aircraft, cars, hospital equipment, etc. My hometown is in Mexico, and as a first-generation student from a low-income family, this upbringing has inspired me to think of all the diverse ways I can help my community.

What advice do you have to anyone considering pursuing a career in engineering?

I would highly recommend pursuing an engineering career as it carries several advantages such as transferable skills, good job opportunities, and a rewarding career. In addition, I would highly recommend students to pursue STEM fields. The world needs more engineers to make our lives easier, safer, and better. As engineers, we can solve poverty, sustainability, and agriculture issues. It will be challenging, but there will also be fun times, and the experience you will receive will be rewarding. Also, no school, university, or job can teach you how to be an excellent engineer better than your own experience and passion for building things.

What made you choose engineering as a career field?
Engineering chose me! I met a materials engineer in the industry during college who thought I would like it once I graduated, and I haven’t looked back since.  

What advice do you have to anyone considering pursuing a career in engineering?
Network. Get exposure outside of school. The world of engineering is so much bigger than what it seems like on paper, and getting out to experience how multi-faceted engineering really is early on is invaluable.
