Electrical Engineering And The Marine Corps

Better Essays

Solving problems, working with machines, and learning new things have always been my strong points, I truly enjoy my work so long as I get do something with those three. So when I was told to write a paper on a career path, I thought, “Why not an engineer?” Now of course I didn’t just want to be any engineer, I wanted to be an electrical one. Along with electrical engineering, I wanted to work with the Marine Corps, because I want to be helping people and making my home a safer place, and joining the marines is one of the best ways to do that.

Of course, there is the question of what is electrical engineering or what is an electrical engineer? Later on I will go over the differences between a marine engineer and a civilian engineer, but …show more content…

First, I will start from the beginning of my career, at college, I’ll go over things like why I chose that college, their tuition and fees, what their engineering staff and buildings are like, and what they are studying in their research facilities. After that I will talk about my military career, which will be a bit longer since I have a lot to go over. In the military section specifically, I want to go over things like the core values of a marine, description of what a military electrical engineer does, and what the requirements are to be a marine. Eventually I will make my way down to civilian engineering, and what life is like as one. The topics I will be covering involve what a civilian electrical engineer is, what jobs you can work, who you can work for, salary and advancements, and how electrical engineers impact the world. I hope you enjoy.

Like most people, you need a college degree for a career, so when I was thinking of ideas for my paper, I thought, “Why not have a section on what college I want to go to?” So I looked around inside the state for some good engineering colleges and I found one that fit in quite well, Purdue University! At first I was a bit sceptical, and I didn’t know much about the school because I never really had to think about the depths of a college’s programs, but after some thinking I decided to give it a chance. I’ll get onto the research later, but for now I want to tell my personal opinion on the school. First, I would like
