语言朋友(63)(理性)n I am an idealist and a fool.In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment.But that's not what I did.
I chose to study engineering in a small liberalarts (文科)university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering.Obviously, I came here for more noble reasons.I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my job.I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by communicating with people who weren't studying science or engineering.My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice.They told me I was wise and grownup beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering 揻actories?where they didn't ancare if you had values or were flexible.I was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.
Now I'm not so sure.Somewhere along the way my_noble_ideas_crashed_into_reality,_as all noble ideas finally do.After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal璦rts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal璦rts courses in college.
The reality that has bh locked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I supposed in high school.Individually they shape a person in very different ways.The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.
