Supplement Engineering Essay Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>To be completed by applicants whose primary interest is Engineering; please check the box and address each question separately. We also suggest limiting your total response to 500 words.

  1. Many applicants to college are unsure about eventual majors. What factors led you to an interest in the field of Engineering?
  2. What experiences beyond school work have broadened your interest in Engineering?
  3. Brown offers programs in Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering. Because there is a common core curriculum within Engineering, students need not select a specific area until their junior year. We are curious to know, however, if any particular program within Engineering presently appeals to you. If so, please discuss that choice. </p>

<p>Does the ‘total’ response of 500 words mean 500 words for EACH question or 500 words in all of them combined? If it is 500 words combined, then how did you distribute your word choice for each question?
Thanks!</p>
