Electricity is probably one of the most basic privileges we know as humankind today. Almost everything we do in our professional or private lives is in some way powered by electricity. Since Edison's invention of the electric light bulb, electricity has developed to power almost every aspect of business and pleasure today. The many inventions and developments of electricity over the last century or so has made it so complex that few people who do not study it in fact know how it works or can repair wiring when something goes wrong. This is why I am interested in the field of electric engineering. Since electricity and the many things we can do with it today hold great fascination for me, it is my aim to make this my major when enrolling for undergraduate study.
I have always been interested in the field of electricity and the engineering that makes it possible. As a child, I would frequently watch professionals make repairs to our home electrical systems. At school, many of my projects included building gadgets and little machines that run on batteries or electrical power. I also have a large number of books and magazines where I have the most up-to-date information at my fingertips. In addition, I do frequent online research to gain information about the newest electrical inventions and the various branches of electrical engineering. I therefore have no doubt that I can make a success of an undergraduate course with electrical engineering as my major.
I believe there is a great demand for electrical engineers in the world today, and this demand can only grow. With the rapid advances in technology, an electrical engineer will always be in demand. Because of the increasingly complicated nature of technology, electrical engineers will be in constant demand to perform maintenance and repair work. I find the prospect of helping people maintain their technology extremely appealing. I will constantly be of assistance to people who need my expertise. I cannot think of anything more fulfilling than that.
In addition, having electrical engineering as my major will also create an avenue for my future. As part of my career path, for example, I would like to start a business of my own. This will allow me to not only offer my passion and expertise as an electrical engineer to my clients, but also to offer employment opportunities to others who are similarly passionate in the field. I will therefore be able to share some of my good fortune with others, which is important in the world today.
Finally, electrical engineering is one of the fields today that offers great opportunities for invention. As an electrical engineer, I will be able to contribute to the development of technology by creating new inventions and solutions for common problems people face today. Like Thomas Edison, who created not only the first durable and practical light bulb, but also other devices like the phonograph and the motion picture camera, I will be able to contribute to the world in a concrete way.
