Why I want Engineering

There are reasons beyond conventionalism why I want to study engineering from a 'good-enough' institute. Studying engineering will take me to the forefront of technology on the verge of which the world stands today... right now. A Master course in technology will not only give me access to the finest of the fine resources available in the world, it gives me ample scope to make the Earth a better place for living.
We can at least "tend towards perfection" if not fully achieve that.
