Well, that made me choose engineering as my career path because I firmly believe engineers do have a huge impact on the world. We use a unique model of thinking, know how to design under constraints, approach problem solving with the mindset of “There Is NO BOX!” And I am proud to say, “Trust me, I’m an engineer.”
