Being An Engineer



Surely, being an engineer calls for more than just solve technical problems. It is in this point of view that to be successful in any course demands total attention of the student both in class work and in other related exercises. In addition, through practical oriented studies students are able to develop new dimensions of understanding the subject and hence new methods of improving technology. I would like to be exposed to a real working platform as a student in that each end every time we are exposed to a formula or working with a device/equipments/machines such as computers, then they should be practically demonstrated as a practical lesson. Most theoretical aspects of teaching, if possible, as elaborated in the textbooks should be brought in to reality rather than being taught theoretically. On the other hand, I would like to be subjected to real working environment like schools and colleges for internships to be in a position to apply my skills and knowledge at work while at the same time gaining working experience.
Taking, I am very well versed with mathematics both at theoretical and practical levels. Thus as part of my extra-curricular I worked about 10 hours a week at the math lab in my college in the fall semester, and I am intending to do the same in the following spring semester. This will be helpful in advancing my teaching and social skills. It was my second semester at college, only after 6 months that I moved to the U.S. and English was my second language, my dominance over the field of mathematics greatly helped me in transferring knowledge and vividly explaining math problems to my students. This Understanding the fact that I can easily apply my learnt knowledge to make life of students better has made me feel fulfilled. This has motivated and inspired me to advance my studies to the doctorate level, so that later on I can become a professor in a reputable university. This I believe will offer an opportunity to serve the world society.
