<p>I'm a high school student who has to write an essay on this prompt. I was wondering if I could get some advice on this topic. I'm not asking you to write the essay for me, but just to help me brainstorm a little bit.</p>
<p>Is this USC? just wondering</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T989 using CC</p>
<p>What is your engineering degree?</p>
<p>Think about how you will write your essay and submit it.</p>
<p>Then ask your parents or others of your parents’ age how they wrote their college application essays and submitted them.</p>
<p>As an EE I have had a small part in some neat projects: modern space suits, a tongue-controlled wheelchair, ground avoidance radar for airplanes, Globalstar and GPS satellites, computer modems. These projects usually had hundreds of people in the design effort.</p>
<p>I also have helped with missiles and missile systems. Overall, I would say, karma points are negative.</p>
<p>For those who were asking, this is for USC and my intended major is mechanical engineering. </p>
<p>Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? I’m quite stuck</p>
<p>Seems like an easy question to answer. Your engineering degree will do the following:</p>
<p>A. Enable you to be more a more productive worker
B. Increase your salary and provide more tax revenue to the government used to pay for all government services
C. Potentially create new devices which further increase productivity by users in their tasks</p>
<p>Kind of a no-brainer really.</p>
<p>Reread #4.</p>
<p>For another hint along that line, pretend that you only had the tools available to your parents when they were your age to write and submit your college applications.</p>
