Free Essay On All About Me: Fayez Alharbi

Oscar Wilde once said, "An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be." Oscar Wilde has never been wrong when he said that about engineers as engineers are always concerned about number, design, construction, and improvement of objects or equipment that will benefit humanity. Moreover, just like what engineers do, I am fascinated with numbers and design.
My name is Fayez Alharbi, a [nationality] national and I am [age] years old. Ever since I started going to school, I had always been engrossed with numbers, thus, understanding and solving mathematical problems was easy for me. Because of this great fixation on numerals and my desire to design and create something from nothing, one of the professions that I considered becoming was that of an electrical engineer job.
Because of my passion for learning, one of my interests is designing and developing electrical equipment that will be used by various industries such as communications industry, electrical motors industry, power generation industry, and the transportation industry, among others. Thus, I foresee myself working in power plants where I get to design new products, or even help in the improvement and upgrade of certain electrical products. I also anticipate that I will be involved in testing whether products are built according to standards, meet product specifications, completed on schedule, and within the allotted budget. These tasks will further put my mathematical skills in good use.
Electrical engineers are expected to be active learners considering that technology innovation occurs every day. This is one of the benefits of becoming an engineer because one gets to work right where the action is, where the inception of a new invention occurs – and I want to be at the center of the action as I am an active learner myself. Engineers are expected to be good in math because the job requires a huge deal of mathematical analysis on the job, as well as great troubleshooting skills. Likewise, the job also requires that the individual place great attention to detail considering that the job of an electrical engineer deals with a lot of complex electrical components, systems, and products.
Apart from these qualities, becoming an electrical engineer calls for great communication skills due to the interactions involved dealing with fellow engineers, managers, and customers when explaining the complexities of a product in simple terms. At this point, I am confident that I can properly communicate my thoughts verbally. However, I believe that I still need to polish my English writing skills in order to make it readable and coherent.
On other things that interest me, I am a huge movie fan. I like watching movies that help me think and do not give away the ending right away, such as Inception. But I also enjoy light-hearted movies and cartoons that bring out the kid in me.
All things said, I go for Oscar Wilde's quote and claim that I see the glass as half-full. I have prepared myself well towards an electrical engineering course. I am positive that things will only get better from here onwards.
