Sharing personal experiences is important. We all have a distinctive voice that can help, inspire, and support others.
ECN is looking for people from all walks of life to explain how they fell into the engineering career. Was this the profession you always knew was in your future, or did stepping into STEM surprise you? Was there a certain individual or event pivotal to your decision? What made you decide to pursue engineering above everything else?
From the straightforward approach to the quirky and unique, we’d love to know how it all began. To highlight all different avenues, each new tale will be featured on ECN every Friday.
