Personal Narrative: My Passionate For Mechanical Engineering

One topic that I am passionate about is engineering. I am into many fields of engineering, including, but not limited to, mechanical, civil, electrical, and architectural engineering. When being more specific though, I am without a doubt most passionate about mechanical engineering. I have always been interested in different things that connect to that field, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered that all of those things I had always loved and had fun with, could actually be made into a profession. Since then I have known that I loved mechanical engineering and wanted to make a profession out of it.

In order to build my skill set and knowledge regarding mechanical engineering, I have done a number of different things. The primary

thing I have done is just incorporate activities into my daily life that would help me understand the workings of things better. I incorporate it into my daily life by doing things such as talking to people who know more on the topic than I do, and researching the topic extensively. I have also begun, attempting to, repair things around the house and my own personal belongings. I often deal with the mechanical working side of things more often than the electrical side of things, but I do have an understanding of how to repair both. When I do research on the topic, I generally don’t actually research mechanical engineering itself. I research things that will help me be a better engineer. I have recently been researching how a hydroelectric generator works and how I could make my own fairly simply. I have also been using Khan Academy to teach myself Differential Calculus. Although difficult, I have begun to make progress. These efforts are what I believe are what will make be better at and more successful in engineering.
