AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a grade 12 student seeking inspiration for an essay on what motivated them to pursue a career in biomedical engineering. Participants emphasize the importance of personal experiences that foster an engineering mindset, suggesting the student reflect on their own life for moments that involved logical thinking, problem-solving, or technical interests. They encourage the student to identify specific instances that sparked their interest in engineering rather than relying solely on external reasons. The conversation highlights the need for self-exploration to uncover genuine motivations for choosing this path.

Hello. I am a grade 12 student and I am hoping to pursue post-secondary studies in biomedical engineering. However, I need to construct an essay stating "what inspired you to become an engineer", and I am having trouble thinking of some experiences that influenced an engineering mind-set.

Would someone mind posting reasons as to why someone would want to become an engineer, and what interests would they have that would lead them into engineering?

Either you have those inspiring experiences or you do not have them. You should examine all of your life experiences and try to identify those which were logical or technical or materials arrangments, rearrangments, assemblies, constructions. Obviously this is a very unspecific description. You must look into your own life to find specific examples.
 
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
