“I chose to study engineering because I am fascinated by electricity. When I see large factories, I wonder how some of their processes are automated, I wanted to learn and have the knowledge to do that. So for me, MIT was the best fit. I learnt the practical skills needed to get a job when I graduated.

My decision to study engineering has given me job security, I am an automation control specialist and the skills that I learned at MIT directly transferred to my role.”
