Although I haven’t traveled much, I would love to travel more in the future and learn firsthand about other cultures and perspectives. Specifically, I would be interested in traveling to South American countries to explore beautiful natural areas such as the Andes which faces environmental concerns such as deforestation and agricultural concerns from farming on steep slopes that can lead to erosion and other climate issues. Traveling to the Andes would also appeal to me because I could use Spanish to communicate, and I would especially love to hike through the mountains.
Using a global perspective in engineering ensures that projects will benefit people and the environment, and helps to protect against possibilities of destruction or upsetting communities. Engineers have a duty to not only design solutions using technical knowledge, but also to keep in mind the interests of anyone who will be affected by their work. I met a biomedical engineering PhD candidate who wore a ring that reminded her of her moral responsibility each time she saw it while signing a document. This experience stuck with me because it’s important that everyone keeps ethics in mind, especially those with the power to design and approve changes.
My interests lie mainly in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Each product that reaches consumers needs to be produced, including the physical product and packaging, and needs to be transported to stores. There are always environmental implications involved with manufacturing that should be kept in mind and sustainable practices should be used wherever possible. Additionally, aerospace missions often involve fatal risks which should be taken seriously. In the age of technological advances such as Neuralink, it’s especially important to protect lives while attempting to test products.
Finally, the fields within engineering have the potential to change the world for the better. Considering how to implement technology or products around the world in places of need can benefit people who don’t have the ability to help themselves. By designing these projects, the world would benefit as a whole. I would love to be a part of making an impact on others because I have the ability to not just learn about engineering but also share the benefits with others through meaningful projects.

As an aspiring engineer, I believe that everyone in the field has a responsibility to the greater good of consumers and citizens. I aim to use my education in engineering to benefit the environment and, in conjunction, humans. I would like to be able to better understand the possible impacts of engineering projects from a wide perspective, and to be able to reverse existing negative effects. I believe this should be a focus of engineers in all fields.
My mindset would help me contribute to the Global Engineering RAP community because my most prevalent characteristics, positivity and ambition, are crucial to creating a productive and supportive environment. Smiles and laughter are indispensable parts of life, and my innate ability to place importance on the positive while dealing with the negative will help me navigate stresses and changes in life, as well as be a source of joy to others.
