It’s not about what you learned, it about how you learned to learn

Name: Sylvia Kudaverdian | Program: Chemical Engineering | Graduation Year: 9T8 |


When I first started out in my career, I was worried about forgetting “stuff” I learned in Skule, and not having answers when I needed them. Early on in my career, I realized that my education was not so much about what I learned, but more about how I learned to learn. My Engineering degree gave me the tools I need to learn anything I need to learn … find the answers I need, identify the resources I need. You don’t need to know everything – but you need to know how to find answers and resources to get you the answers you need. Throughout my career, being able to admit that I didn’t have an answer, but that I could definitely get one has been the most powerful tool in my kit.
