The core values of the Engineering Institute really stood out to me, especially:
"Tirelessly collaborative and team-oriented" and "Human-centered, inclusive, and personal". In my undergrad I battled to find others with a passion for collaboration and building communities with similar interests and often found myself alone in my endeavors. Being human centered was vital to me because more often than not engineering marvels are ranked according to their potential financial benefits to stockholders, apposed to the ultimate benefit to all shareholders.
