I think that topic could be really good in a way that it could tell them how creative your ideas are regarding engineering, your curiosity, overall interest on the subject and something about you that would make Cornell Engineering unique.

As long s it is interesting and unique. Make sure your voice comes thru. If it's something like, " I went on a mission trip to a 3rd world country to help build x and realized I want to do this for a living......" that is not unique as they thousands of those!
