Importance Of Business Essentials

Improved Essays
As briefly stated, during the past 5 years, I first started as an FEA and stress analysis responsible for design and engineering of the de-oiling units, but soon I got promoted to a senior mechanical engineer that became involved in different aspects of project execution, such as clients relationship, fabrication supervision, quality control, R&D and commissioning/start up support. In the last two years, due to the financial turmoil in the oil and gas market, I have been involved in budgeting and costing of our product lines, with the aim of optimizing design and lowering products’ overall cost, thus tailoring to the new market’s conditions. Due to the full exposure to a diversified fields of expertise, I recently became the engineering manager, consequently took a relevant course at University of Calgary in Sept. 2015 that was funded by Alberta Government and EWS in part, titled as “Business Essentials (BE) 2015-2016”. This course dragged me out of my conventional zone and gave me the chance to look at the engineering scene and its solution-providing approaches from a higher level.

I am particularly interested in passing on the approach that I had earned in all these years to the younger generation of engineers. I firmly believe that the future of engineering, in particular ,mechanical engineering discipline, is dependent on engineers who are trained to think outside the box, those who value their career as means that contribute to resolving issues that affect mankind and the environment. We need engineers that are always keen to learn new topics, have multi-disciplinary attitude and are flexible to dmove out of their comfort

    What began as a simple childlike fascination with space and aviation when I watched my first episode of Star Trek as a young girl, has followed me through the years, subtly influencing my choices throughout my studies. To me, the engineers in that series were the true heroes; no matter what happened, they were always able to draw out a “little more power” or come up with the creative work-around (albeit at the last second) that allowed the crew to collectively maneuver themselves out of whatever tight spot they were in and achieve their mission goal. I became enthralled with the idea of pushing technology, and the human body, to its limits, and soon found myself enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania as a bioengineering major and center of their women’s basketball team. While I was fortunate enough to receive many personal accolades during my time at UPenn, the two that are most important to me are winning the Ivy League Championship and being named a Sports Ilustrated on Campus Glue Gal - an award given to a handful of people across the country who "do all the little things" and…
