How can I, Youssef Maharem, benefit

from the education at AUC?


From the cars we drive everyday to work, to the mobile
phones we use to communicate, to the houses we find shelter and
tranquility in, there is no doubt that engineering is engrained in
every aspect of our life. There is no device, product, service, or
system that hasnt been touched by engineering in some way. To
me, engineering is the use of knowledge, design, and innovation to
make something that would benefit and satisfy a general need of
the people. It is a never-ending process, one that is constantly
evolving and adapting according to the desires of the dynamic world
we live in today. In essence, engineers are problem-solvers and that
is what I dream and aspire to be; an engineer.
Seeing how Egypt lacks vital infrastructure and technological
advancement, it has become my main motive for wanting to study
at your esteemed university, at a much higher level than that is
existent in the rest of Egypt. It is my goal to benefit my people with
the knowledge, experience, and skills I have gained, in a sustainable
manner that well suits my countrys resources. It is in the essence of
engineering itself, the scientific art of developing the present, and
building the future.
Since childhood, I have had a deep interest in mathematics
and the sciences. In grade ten, I was nicknamed Mr. Answer Key
as my chemistry teacher used to grade my papers first and use that
as a mark scheme. I was also asked to tutor younger students. As an
IB student, I am currently enjoying my physics, chemistry and
mathematics classes, especially topics pertaining to calculus and
vectors, and would love to pursue further studies in these fields. In
order to supplement my physics education, I have enrolled at two
workshops at the MIT-affiliated FabLab. The first is an Electronics
101 workshop that builds on what I have learnt from school with a
more practical, hands-on approach and takes the matter into more
depth, covering areas such as BJT switches and monostables. The
second is a 3D CAD workshop where I learned the basics of making
gear trains using Solidworks. Both workshops have given me
valuable insight and will significantly assist me in my field of study.
I would like to continue my engineering and science education
and after evaluating university options in Egypt, I have concluded
that studying at AUC will allow me to achieve my future goals; AUC
is the place for me.
