Well in the future I would like to see flying cars.
So the wheels go out like this and you just fly.
We could create something that a lot of people
need that would bring us all together.
I would like to invent a kind of medicine
that would stop the disease.
I do know in developing countries water is really, really hard to get.
I think a good invention for the future
would be a giant atmospheric filter
that kind of covered the globe.
Could add in random boosters
to skateboards and bikes
that would make you go faster.
Phones that have holograms because that sounds
pretty cool.
Engineering is, I don’t really know,
but I think just making things
for the better
.
You find things made by engineers everywhere.
If you look around, everything you see.
Your car, your toaster, your shoes, your house.
The building you go to school in there
was a civil engineer involved in that.
The computers that we play on,
there was a mechanical engineer,
an electrical engineer.
Paint, you name it. Anything.
Toilet paper. Shampoo.
Food products.
Engineering is all around you.
Engineers are everywhere.
Everywhere.
I think it would take somebody
with a really powerful growth mind
to accomplish things like this.
Because you know you can't just think about it,
you actually have to actually think-think about it
because those things are really hard to think about.
You have to be really smart.
You also have to be really creative.
You would need to have problem solving skills.
Just a matter of having a little curiosity
and the drive
to do something to help the world.
I think sometimes we can be stereotyped
as you have to be nerdy
or you have to be a boy
or you have to look a certain way
and I don’t think that's true.
I think anyone can be an engineer.
A good engineer is able to come up
with creative solutions to problems.
They communicate with a lot of people in different fields
and just working in teams.
You have to have the thirst for knowledge.
You have to always want to learn.
Anything science related, so biology, chemistry.
Calculus, physics.
You absolutely do not have to be a math
whiz to study engineering.
I think you have to be able to understand basic concepts of it
but I don’t think you have to be some genius
to be an engineer.
Engineers will always be in demand.
That's one of the reasons why I chose it for me
because you will always need engineers to help you solve
the next generation's problems.
Engineering gives you so many opportunities.
There's so many different disciplines
you can get into.
I can't think of another profession
that has the flexibility that engineers
have and the type of work
that they can do on a day-to-day basis
and on a career-long basis,
different areas you can get involved with.
It's incredible to think of what we can do as engineers
to impact the world.
I became an engineer because I want to help people
and I want to improve people's lives.
You can build anything,
you can make anything.
You can solve real world problems.
Our society can't advance
without that innovation in the technology fields.
You know I wanted to be a positive contributor to society.
I love the challenge.
There's always something to improve upon.
Nothing's perfect.
You're helping people, you're changing lives, you're,
in some ways you're saving lives,
right.
More robots everywhere,
like helping at hospitals
and helping people like on the street.
One day in the future I would like to build lenses
because some people are blind
and they can't really see anything
so they're missing out on a lot of beautiful things
to see on this Earth.
I'd invent a machine that could take you to Jupiter
and let you explore other parts of the galaxy.
It would just be really cool to be able
to teleport places.
And that's what engineering is.
Yes, I can picture myself
being an engineer.
