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.

<p>The Cornell College of Engineering supplement starts off by asking us to talk about an engineering idea or our interest in engineering... but I'm applying for CS which isn't technically an engineering major. Am I still allowed to talk about CS rather than what it's asking for?</p>

<p>(I know this might be a stupid question)</p>

<p>Yes, it makes sense to do that. The college of engineering encompasses several very different majors - focus on the one you’re interested in.</p>

<p>Computer Science is needed in a lot of engineering. It’s all the same to this purpose.</p>
