What if I am interested in engineering but do not yet have a clear career goal?
Even if you have not decided on a future occupation, you can explain clearly why you want to study engineering. Describe the problems or technologies that interest you, the knowledge and skills you hope to gain, and your intention to refine your career direction through study, connecting these points with relevant school experiences where possible. You do not need to force yourself to name one specific job.
Key points
- Put into words the technologies or problems that interest you.
- Explain what you want to learn and which abilities you want to develop.
- Show that you plan to clarify your career direction through your studies.
Things to check
- What an application essay should address, and which fields are available, vary by university, faculty, and program, so check the official information for the institution you are applying to.
