Interpretation of the Quote

“While all engineers should have good communication skills, global engineers
face additional challenges, making effective communication an imperative.”

 Global engineers face more language barriers and cultural differences as compared to engineers who work locally mainly.

 Thus, although engineers need to have good communication skills to communicate ideas effectively. Global engineers have the added challenge of needing to understand more social and cultural norms in the location they are working in.

Growing up, I found myself fascinated by 3D computer-aided graphics shown in some television series by National Geographic. They gave much more details to explore and understand in comparison to simply hearing a narrator explain. On top of that, I enjoyed creative problem solving that had an element of tinkering involved as well. Further along, when I saw new construction projects or technological breakthroughs, the whole prospect of innovation and advancement excited me. Thus, I came to the conclusion that engineering was the right fit for me. In my area of weaknesses, my biggest struggle is my capacity to speak in front of a random audience, large or unfamiliar. This is usually due to me being greatly stressed over...
