express your ideas and make the world a better place to live. The
most basic thing that you should learn on engineering is its
fundamentals and basic principles. Copying and memorizing is not
effective in engineering, that will only work on a short period so you

an efficient engineer, communication, teamwork , and presentation
skills also is a plus factor also that you should not underestimate.

outlook so they are more interested in return on investment than
they are with the innovative approach you take on solving their
problem, just understand what makes decision makes tick. Work
hard, be optimistic, and embrace change so be flexible. You can also
learn a lot from your mentors, role models, and professors to help
you further develop your career. If there is a way you can talk to
them, ask questions.
Atlast, rest a bit. Don’t push yourself too much. Ofcourse, strategic
planning and full preparation is needed but good mindset by having
some rest will lead you even more to a healthy perspective.

it will give you an inspiration and encouragement for you to be like
them too. Also, don’t forget to pray, have faith in God, do good
deeds as it will turn back to you.
