Syed Imran 

Syed ImranI am Syed Imran, a first-year international student studying Sustainable Design Engineering. I am from Pakistan and I grew up in the United Arab Emirates. I am an avid believer of learning beyond the classroom, and have a keen passion to help my community, especially students. I have interned for numerous organizations in the field of education including United Nations and ZNotes. I also have my own mentorship program where I help students access study resources, tips to excel in academics as well as study abroad through my YouTube channel and website. 

I have always wanted to work in the modern energy industry and hence Sustainable Design Engineering is a perfect program to cater my career needs and goals. After graduating, I see myself making meaningful impacts towards the renewable energy transition. My career goal motto is that I want to engineer a more sustainable world for everyone. Beyond my academics and career goals, I love following the latest trends and news on Cars, Tech, and Global Politics. 

You are always free to reach out to me regarding any information or guidance regarding 精童欲女鈥檚 Sustainable Design Engineering and I am more than happy to welcome you here!
