Well, to start, when I was younger and I was thinking what to study, I always wanted something related with engineering, I wasn’t sure which one at the beginning. Then I spoke with some older friends than me, who were already at the university studying an engineering career, and I liked electronics because it gives me a lot of places where I could work and use my knowledge, and I wanted to find out how stuffs work.

3. Could you please describe the educational process required to become an Engineer?
It is not different from other careers you just have to study hard because it’s not easy at all…and you will see you effort pays off!

4. What are the skills you need to be a good engineer?
I think that anyone that likes math, physics an all those subjects that are numbers, has at lest one of the skills, however it is not everything, you must be very creative and imaginative in order to solve all type of problems that we are going to find not just studying but when we will working in a company or our own business. Also you have to have the idea of helping people, I mean be able to invent some thing that people need. To study a lot :P

Be able to learn how the electric things work, discover new things, do projects by myself at home just for fun, meet people.

7. From your perspective, what is the most difficult part of being an engineering student?
I think that is discover which is the problem when a circuit is not working well, also get used to all kind of different measurement ‘s instruments that we find in laboratories.

8. What are your plans for the future?
I want to move to Caracas find a good job, get experience, and go for Spain to do a postgrade and then maybe star running my own company.

When I can finish a circuit and it works immediately, and when I study hard for a tough exam and pass it excellent.
