Need an engineer's perspective on a college essay

[eddiemaini]

Hello! I am new to the forums! (Love the F=MA and P=MV questions that they ask you when registering!)

I need some feedback on an essay that I am writing for the UVa supplement. Would someone be willing to help?

The prompt is- If you were given funding for a small engineering project, what would you do?

Post here and I will email or PM it to you.

I am electrical and electronics engineer, and i would suggest a project used in the industry in such case there will be a lot of applications where your product will be used in.
Maybe you can start with small products like 3 phase relay, single phase relay up to more complex like soft starters for motors.

I am sorry if I was vague in my original post. I am a senior in high school and applying to the undergraduate engineering department at University of Virginia.

I already have an idea and an essay written. I just need someone to check to see if what I have is fundamentally correct.

Sorry I can't post my essay here but I can PM or email it to anyone who is willing to help.

I'll take a look. I'm a ChemE Senior at an engineering school

Hi there!

I may not be able to provide an engineer's perspective on your college essay, but I can offer some general advice. When writing about a potential engineering project, it's important to think about the real-world applications and impact of your idea. Consider the resources and materials needed, the feasibility of your project, and any potential challenges or limitations. Additionally, be sure to clearly articulate the purpose and goals of your project and how it aligns with your interests and skills. Good luck with your essay!
