  1. This month, we’re asking you, who is the engineer you looked up to and influenced your decision to pursue engineer? Let us know in the comments below.

  2. Tushar Aggarwal

    I looked up to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam during my childhood before deciding on choosing engineering as my future path. He was the best nuclear scientist India could ever have and later became the President of India. During his tenure, I always looked up for his kindness, intellect and thinking.

  3. My dad is the engineer I look up to. Even though he always wanted me to pursue electrical engineering, I ended up going through with chemical engineering instead.

  4. Honestly, My Father, (luis zapata), he is a chemical engineer with more than 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. I remember since I was a child he used to take to his office in the oil refinery (Venezuela) and I used to play there like in a playground. He was my inspiration and I decided to follow his steps.

  5. Isambard Kingdom Brunel and all his achievements in Engineering Inspired me as well as other family members who are engineers.

  6. In my case it was my late cousin Juan Carlos Solórzano Castro, he was Naval Mechanical Engineer when I was still a child and he inspired me to follow the Engineering path. Although in the beginning it was my intention to follow his steps, I did not become a Mechanical Engineer but an Electronics (Electrical) Engineer, which has been my passion since I was a young age.

  7. Engr. Roy Raz, he is a bridge engineer in Macau SAR. He is my mentor, the one I look up to encourage myself to give my best. I learned a lot from him. Knowledge that are acquired from experience and not from books. Experience acquired from colleagues and supervisors. He is one of the best. I still look up to him especially now that he is in heaven.

  8. Its Nikola Tesla. Since my childhood I was very impressed and amazed by the work and life of
    Mr.Tesla. When I started reading about his inventions and futuristic thinking, I decided my goal to be an engineer and do some creative, functional and productive work in my life.

  9. I didn’t have many female role models in STEM to look up to growing up. However, my parents instilled a belief in me that I could do anything and that gender is not a barrier. I admire Roberta Bondar (Canada’s first female astronaut) and I follow Elon Musk (cofounder and CEO of Tesla).

  10. My dad influenced my decision to pursue engineering! Growing up, I recall him always explaining why things are designed this way or made that way. It definitely made me curious!
