As frustrating and as difficult as it was at points, Chemistry was hands down my favorite class sophomore year. I’ve always loved to learn how and why things work and why they do what they do. Leaning about how different chemicals and substances react with each other got me interested in materials science and mechanical engineering. Take the automobile for example; the most successful car companies are applying these sciences to improve their products. Germans have always been at the top of food chain when it comes to engineering. Mercedes, Porsche and Volkswagen are prime examples of this as some of the most reliable and efficient cars in the world. New developments in materials such as carbon fiber and carbon ceramic brakes are being used in both Formula 1, and everyday cars making them stronger, lighter, safer and more efficient.

Today our society is increasingly dependent on technology for daily
tasks and jobs. I certainly couldn’t live without it. But there will always be
a need for engineers who apply science and materials to find solutions to
problems that are applied to almost every aspect of our lives.
