Experiences That Prepared Me for the Global Engineering RAP:
Although I have not had a chance to travel much in the U.S. at this point, I am very keen on visiting various areas and communities so that I may gain new perceptions that will enhance my understanding of global matters. My perception is that the experiences gained through exposure to new cultures, backgrounds, and environments are imperative in solving complex problems in the area of engineering. This curiosity about the world around me, combined with my intellectual and personal interests, has led me to apply to the Global Engineering RAP at CU Boulder.
Growing up in a culturally and background-diverse community, I have always had a keen sense of the importance of taking into account different ways of thinking when attempting to solve problems. Although I have not yet traveled extensively within the U.S., I do have a desire to engage with those from other communities and see the ways that various regions respond to challenges of engineering, sustainability, and infrastructure. I believe that through traveling to other regions of the U.S., I am able to see how engineering can be applied in many different situations, each presenting its own challenges and solutions.
My volunteer experience has also contributed towards shaping my perception of the world. Though I have not moved far, I have taken part in community outreach and engagement efforts, during which I had interaction with people of diverse backgrounds. These encounters have instilled within me an appreciation for cultural awareness and the incorporation of differing opinions into problem-solving frameworks. I've discovered it is vital to comprehend the aspirations of various societies in developing effective, sustainable, and inclusive engineering solutions.
While preparing for my engineering education, I am keen to travel around the U.S. to become more exposed and better aware of the diverse challenges faced by various communities. Whether I go to urban centers, rural villages, or communities facing environmental changes, I would like to see firsthand how engineers are tackling these challenges and what type of solutions can be developed to initiate a positive change.
The Global Engineering RAP will be an ideal platform for me to learn from other peers with similar interests and experience, and at the same time, enhance my own knowledge on how engineering can be applied to solve global as well as local problems. I look forward to the possibility of being part of projects that will allow me to work with individuals of different backgrounds and apply what I have learned to real-world issues.

How Global Experience and Diversity Enrich the Practice of Engineering:
Global experience and cross cultural thinking are essential to determining engineering's future. Since engineering addresses more of the world's most critical challenges facing the people on this planet, it is now essential to study such challenges in a global frame of mind with sensitivity to cultural, societal, and regional differences. My life experience and drive in the engineering profession have shown me the tremendous potential global perspectives carry to develop more just, sustainable, and effective engineering solutions.
I have been fortunate enough in my life to work with individuals of varied backgrounds, both from my immediate locality and during my volunteer work. These interactions have also taught me the importance of learning how different cultures, societies, and environments address problems. For example, I have learned how engineering solutions that work in one community might not work as well in another due to differences in resources, local requirements, or cultural values. This realization has led me to pursue an engineering career with a focus on solutions that can be tailored to solve the unique issues of diverse populations.
As an aspiring engineer, I also believe that international experiences whether earned through travel, foreign study, or collaboration with international colleagues can teach valuable lessons about how engineering methods can be adapted to solve global problems. For example, studying how developing-world communities address such challenges as access to clean water or renewable energy can be a source of inspiration for innovative, yet practical, and scalable solutions. Likewise, studying engineering solutions that have been implemented in cities can offer valuable lessons about sustainability, efficiency, and design that can be applied to rural or underserved communities.
In addition, global perspectives foster collaboration and innovation. Working with people from different backgrounds allows engineers to share ideas and approaches that are not necessarily apparent in a single context environment. It also encourages greater appreciation for how engineering can positively affect individuals' lives, particularly in communities with unique issues.
Personally, I am particularly interested in using engineering for healthcare. My international experience has demonstrated to me how diverse health needs are and how the development of medicines or medical devices must be mindful of regional health problems and resources. Using a global mindset, I would like to contribute to solutions that are accessible, adaptable, and effective for all, regardless of where they happen to be.
To sum up, foreign experiences and perspectives not only enhance the practice of engineering but are critical in creating innovative, inclusive, and efficient solutions. I would wish to continue learning and expanding my own international perspective in order to contribute more towards the future of engineering.

Why I Would Enjoy Being a Member of the Global Engineering RAP at CU Boulder:
I would enjoy being a member of the Global Engineering RAP at CU Boulder because I believe it will provide me with a unique opportunity to enrich my engineering education while developing a sense of global awareness and community. As a future engineer, I find that addressing today's complex problems requires not just technical expertise but also an appreciation of various perspectives, cultural differences, and global implications of engineering choices. Global Engineering RAP is the best environment for me to grow both academically and personally where I can grow the skills and attributes required to make significant contributions to the field of engineering.
The RAP's interdisciplinary methodology of focusing on global issues and multiple perspectives is exactly what appeals to me in pursuing the application of engineering to problems affecting the global community. The ability to work with classmates who have varying cultural, academic, and life experiences will enable me to look at engineering issues from a more comprehensive standpoint. This will help me develop innovative solutions that are not only effective but also responsive to the unique needs of different communities. The community-based and mentorship components of the RAP will also provide me with the support and resources needed to perform well academically, while fostering personal growth and leadership skills.
The Global Engineering RAP will aid in my growth as an engineer through enhanced critical thinking and team working in a global environment. It will expose me to new technologies and concepts, as well as the social and ethical implications of engineering solutions. I believe that participating in international engineering forums and working together on real issues will enable me to develop the skills to become an internationally aware engineer able to address issues with imagination, tact, and cultural sensitivity.
By being part of the residential community, I will contribute by taking an active role in group work, seminars, and activities that promote international awareness and harmony. I am looking forward to sharing the news of my passion for healthcare engineering and volunteerism, and I would be delighted to organize community outreach programs that bring engineering students together with local organizations in need. I am also committed to building an open, inclusive atmosphere within the community by mentoring others, offering a helping hand when necessary, and collaborating across disciplines to achieve common goals.
Overall, the Global Engineering RAP at CU Boulder is an excellent opportunity for me to grow as both an individual and an engineer. I think that this community will possess the resources, experiences, and networks to succeed in the global engineering arena, and I am excited to assist it in doing so.
