Make Up Assignment
Having lived in 4 continents and travelled to numerous others, I can safely say that from a very young age, I have spent a great deal of my life at the airport and on planes. I would always be thinking about how a plane at 3,500 feet of altitude with approximately an average weight of 877,000 lbs could manage to cruise with no worry. The curiosity was always present and just kept increasing. The four years I stayed in San Diego, CA my dad would religiously take me to the air shows there. Seeing all the different aircrafts would excite me as much as a child would if they were taken to Disneyland. Going to the air shows felt like a totally different feeling. A feeling as if I belonged there, somewhere there as a sense of comfort …show more content…
The challenges of solving complex math problems have always excited me. I am fascinated by the many different ways to solve difficult problems and the excitement when a simple trick results in solving complicated issues. In addition, physics intrigues me in many ways. It strikes awe in me that we as human beings are a very small mass in an enormous undiscovered galaxy. Also, I am captivated by the way that four forces causes a huge plane to fly around the world. Inspired by my studies of both mathematics and physics I want to use my strengths and interests in these subjects and my natural curiosity in planes to build a career in aerospace engineering.
Then came the big question of which university? Choosing Purdue was not a tough decision to make as having a highly ranked program for aerospace engineering Purdue was the place where I could get the best exposure to accomplish my passion and become an aerospace engineer. The program’s curriculum and world class research labs offered me opportunities to design and conduct experiments and it was among the first few colleges that offer student centered learning rather than pure lectures. There was not a better university that could have considered helping me achieve my career
