Resources, opportunity, and experience are all key ingredients to success. These are the main attributes I look for in a school and the University of Michigan has them to offer.
An important factor that I look for in a school is the opportunity to study abroad, and the University of Michigan has just that. The Engineering Global Leadership Honors program allows for study abroad and offers a challenging course load that incorporates business, culture, and leadership into engineering. These key aspects will prove helpful in starting a global business and leading it effectively. Along with the Engineering Global Leadership Honors program there is also the GEA Aerospace Summer Program which also offers a study abroad experience in Europe where I can deepen my knowledge in the field of aerospace engineering. There are also many other internship opportunities offered and each internship will provide me with the experience needed for me to excel after I graduate and enter the work force.
One of the things that drew my attention was the availability of computer laboratories to students of the School of Engineering. The 24 hour availability of computers full of helpful software shows that the school is giving its student the resources they need. This accessibility of computer facilities is unparalleled by any other school I've seen and would certainly prove to be instrumental in my success.
Aerospace engineering isn't something new to the alumni of the School of Engineering. With alumni ranging from CEOs of businesses to working for and leading projects for NASA, the alumni base shows that the School of Engineering is effective in its teaching methods and course curriculum. One of my career goals is to work for NASA, and the fact that an alumnus from the school is working in NASA strengthens my ambition. The School of Engineering attracts individuals with a common goal of succeeding and being surrounded by these individuals will motivate me even more to reach my maximum potential and become an upstanding engineer. The University of Michigan has the ingredients to success that I need, and that is why I wish to attend its School of Engineering.
