My Major

The major that I chose was Electrical Engineering. I chose this major because I have always been interested in the way that things work. When I was a child, I would take toys apart and challenge myself to put them back together again. I am the type of person that likes to know the "why" behind what causes the television to come on with the press of a button. When deciding on my major, I researched the courses that I would have to take and the job opportunities that would be available to me with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Some of the classes that I will have to take include: a number of math classes, physics, chemistry, and circuits. Electrical engineers can find jobs in aerospace, automotive, chemical, electronics, and many other engineering industries. My dream job is working for NASA as an electrical engineer. I chose to attend Kennesaw State University because of the location. KSU is not in Atlanta where I live, but at the same time, it is not too far away. Traveling a short distance for school gives me time to just drive and think and enjoy the scenery of the beautiful campus. I also chose KSU because it is known for having a strong Electrical Engineering program.  

I found most of the information about both my major and KSU through google searches. I still use google to look for information regarding internship and scholarship opportunities for those in my field. This simple, every day research played an important role in my decision to become a student at KSU.
