<p>OK, I really need help with the Engineering Essay for UVA. Heres the prompt:
UVA engineers are working to solve problems that affect people around the world, from our long-term water purification project in South Africa to continuing to research more efficient applications of solar power. However, most students start small, by using engineering to make a difference in daily life. If you were given funding for a small engineering project that would make your everyday life better, what would you do?</p>
<p>I can't think of anything to write that will make my life better. The only thing that I thought of was the windows and doors in my house. During the winter it gets really cold, so my dad puts duck tape around the edges to "keep" the cold out. But, I'm pretty sure this problem has already been solved, so there's no point in me doing it. Can anyone please help me? Give me some ideas?</p>
