Dear Professor Rodwell,

My name is Keeth Perera and I am currently an electrical engineering major at The City College of New York. I am writing you this letter to tell you about what I study as well as my ambitions for my future career. Engineering is a great career path and it allows people to develop unique skills and characteristics. Engineers have an essential role in the world today across many different fields.

 I am currently a freshman at City College and I am in my first year of studying engineering. My courses are mostly related to the subjects of math and science such as calculus and physics.  These courses give me the knowledge and skills I need to be a good engineer. I learned more about how the subject of math and science work in the world. More importantly these subjects are helping me to develop my critical thinking and problem solving skills, which I could apply to engineering.

As a college student, I want to be able to work on different projects and get experience in the field before I graduate. I think that hands-on learning is important, especially in a field like this. I plan to work on many projects related to engineering in order to put my knowledge to the test. I also plan on working at internships in positions related to engineering. I think that this will give me the experience I need to be who I want to be in my career. It will also help me to get a sense of what my future career can look like.

After I graduate, I want to work at a job that values my engineering degree. I want  to eventually get a masters degree to further advance in my knowledge. I would like to have successfully finished projects by this time that I would have been working on as an undergraduate student. 

There is a lot I could do with my engineering degree. This degree is valuable in many fields, not just engineering. This is because it is known that engineering majors have specific characteristics that make them stand out. This includes the ability to work under pressure, problem solving and critical thinking. There are a variety of fields I could go into with my engineering degree.

With the advances in technology, new discoveries and innovations over the years , engineering is not the same as it was in the past. As people keep discovering more about how different processes work, there are more innovations and more inventions. Their knowledge is constantly developing.  Engineers are constantly designing and improving things to make them better than they already are. They also use their new knowledge to keep making new creations and inventions. The world needs people like engineers for maintaining and creating things. . There are engineers who work in many different fields. These engineers keep fixing problems that exist and are finding solutions for problems that exist. 

In conclusion, engineering is an amazing career that offers many opportunities to students like myself. It is a respectable career where these engineers are equipped with unique skills and characteristics. Engineers are a vital part of this world and play an important role in society.

Sincerely,

Keeth Perera
