How do you plan to use your engineering degree to benefit society?

Two Engineer Types: Geeks or Nerds



My industrial engineering degree at USC can benefit society in two ways: create taxes, and make people's lives easier. First of all, I would be looking for a job with decent salary, because i would receive an edge on the job market with the degree at USC. Therefore, the government would get the benefit of collecting more income taxes from me. A critical part of industrial engineering is optimization; industrial engineers optimize the processes or systems to ensure the maximum benefic. An industrial engineer's decent work would result in the financial growth of the company. In addition, I would prefer to start my career at the innovation companies such as Apple, Google, and Nintendo... Moreover, I am fully committed to give my absolute best to engineering. Hopefully, not only the government can experience a significant amount increase of taxes from the big company I work for, the company can also strength their innovation products to make people's life easier. Last, I would like to volunteer as much as I can to help the individuals or small companies to achieve their goal.

Some people categorize engineers as geeks or nerds. Are you a geek, nerd, or neither? Why?
I don't fit in to neither of the "nerd" or "geek" category; however, I am similar to a nerd in many ways. I seen the term "nerd" as someone who is highly intellectual, fully committed to his or her "nerdy" hobbies. Because they are so focus on doing what they passionate about, some of them might lack a little bit of social skills. Though I am committed to the field of engineering, I am also engaged in the sport of fitness. In addition to that, I spent a decent amount of time in the past two years to achieve my fitness goals, and I don't have a finish line in the sport of fitness. The biggest reason that hinders me from the "nerd" category is the social skills. I am an outgoing person, someone prefer group activities than individual assignments. In fact, I make friend progressively. Furthermore, I love communicate with others, especially with classmates. Despite my accent, I am not afraid to speak my opinions out load in the classroom. During the conversation, people often express their opinions, or feelings on the subject. So communication will not only give me a brief idea about the characters of the person I am talking to, I can also observe the different perspectives on the topic.

suggestions would be highly appreciated!!!

Hello,

First I'd like to say that your response to the first prompt was fantastic. I got a good chuckle from your taxes response and think it is really original. Good. Now for the second half of prompt one - where you take a complete nose-dive. In comparison to your taxes response, it is rather dull. Maybe you should talk about your fitness goals here and how you could utilize your passion for fitness to help one of these companies produce products/services that address the fitness goals of many in society. That will tie in perfectly with your taxes answer. This would mean you would have to pick another reason for why you are or are not a geek or nerd. For this essay you need to give a firm answer such as something that you do that is or is not considered geeky or nerdy. Fitness goals would be too general here, but saying that you are the captain of the football team for example would be more direct and easy for anyone to visualize. -AAO

Hope this helps
