"My name is Alex and I am an entry level engineer working with Weber Eliot Engineers in Eugene, Oregon and I'm going to tell you a little about why I became an engineering intern. The first reason is when I went into college I knew I was interested in physics and math and engineer was kind of along those lines in the academic world. So it made sense to look into engineering as a career. The other reason is just the skills an engineer needs includes some artistic drafting skills and the ability to use mathematics confidently and I managed to develop both of these skills in my life. So the combination of having some artistic drafting skills I even designed some sets for some plays and musicals in the past and just designing those sets was an interesting way to think about design concepts and that is not engineering but it is drafting and that is kind of, design and drafting is kind of a precursor to engineering. Of course, so is mathematics. So you take and combine drafting and mathematics and that is basically the skill set an engineer will use along with a lot of the physics and other things and specific engineering oriented classes. But the reason I went in is because I had those mathematic foundations and I had some drafting foundations."
