Engineering Supplement Essay

Quick question for everyone applying to Engineering. For the supplement essay, it asks “Cornell Engineering celebrates innovative problem solving that helps people, communities…the world. Consider your ideas and aspirations and describe how a Cornell Engineering education would allow you to leverage technological problem-solving to improve the world we live in.”

Can I basically treat it as a “Why Cornell and why engineering?” essay? Because it threw me off a bit with the whole improving the world and technological problem solving. Thanks, guys!
