CoE Supplement Essay: "specific resources"

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

So this is the College of Engineering essay prompt:

Tell us about an engineering idea you have, or about your interest in engineering. Describe how your ideas and interests may be realized by—and linked to—specific resources within the College of Engineering. Finally, explain what a Cornell Engineering education will enable you to accomplish.

I’ve already written and finalized my essay, but the “specific resources” phrase keeps bugging me. I didn’t mention a particular facility or anything–I spoke about my passion for engineering in general. I did mention that the passion of my peers is an important “resource” in my education, but I wasn’t specific wrt a department or machine or… lol idk.

Am I the only one who didn’t mention “specific resources”? Lol it’s a dumb question but I’m getting nervous now that the ED date is a week away.

It’s hard to write this supplement without sounding generic, but something unique at Cornell is the engineering project teams that provide hands on experience in engineering as early as your first semester.
