Very few universities in the world offer a beautiful setting, exemplary teaching staff, a range in courses offered and an engineering school as highly acclaimed as that of Stanford. Still somewhat undecided as to what aspect of engineering I would major in, Stanford gave me the opportunity to postpone my decision while remaining confident that I would receive a stellar education regardless of what I chose to study. As an international student from a small school in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the diverse and welcoming nature of Stanford students also had a significant influence on my wanting to attend.
What I Work On
Im currently completing a Product Design BS. My interests lie in conceiving products that benefit human experiences. Having just returned to Stanford after a year of work experience in South East Asia, balancing the constraints arising from aesthetic, technical, human, social and true business concerns has become my primary draw to such design based engineering.
Whats Great About Studying Here
One of the most favorable aspects of attending Stanford is the freedom the institution grants to its undergraduate students. As a product design major, I am not only provided with the opportunity to become involved in various types of research, but also, am assured that all the resources for my research are available. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Asia, I have witnessed interactions between cultures, between age groups and between members of different religions daily and those experiences have cultivated an inward desire to consistently surround myself with such relations. Stanford promotes such diversity, inviting and celebrating differences in a variety of ways, constructing an environment that educates its members in areas beyond academics.
What I Hope to Do
After the completion of my education here at Stanford, I hope to assume a role in a family-owned business. Whatever does transpire in my future, and whatever opportunities may arise, I know that Stanford will have provided me with the necessary entrepreneurial, critical thinking and deductive analytical skills to achieve success in any area.
