| Engineering students are supposed to be
examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college
education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school ! wanted to be an
electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have
chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots
of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did. I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts(文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in e lectrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering.
