  • Too many to count if I'm being honest.

    • Name your top 3 or 5?

        1. Fascination with How Things Work: I’ve always been obsessed with understanding the mechanics behind everyday objects and complex machines.

        2. Problem-Solving: I love the challenge of solving intricate problems and coming up with innovative solutions.

        3. Impactful Career: Mechanical engineering offers the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the world, from improving energy efficiency to designing life-saving medical devices.

        Top 5? Jesus, I haven't had my coffee yet lol hope this helps.

        What about you? Your top 3 ?

        • Wow, great explanation and write-up!

          Disclaimer: The program offered in school has a specialization in Astronautics.

          Quick reply, my attempt at writing up a top 3:

          1. Learning: I grew up watching and learning about as many subjects as I could discover. Some of my favorites that I stumbled upon involved NASA and space.

          2. Thinkering: I would try to take things apart so as to tinker and rebuild. I failed, but I keep trying while also making use of parts to create something new.

          3. Future: Watching Cosmos and similar programs encouraged me to try to be involved with getting humans to explore and land on other planets. This made me interested in joining amateur clubs and organizations so as to meet like-minded people.
