奶糖直播

Activities: VESTED (奶糖直播 Engineering, Science and Technology Enrichment and Development, a STEM outreach program) and Latin American Student Organization executive board co-chair

Minor: Sustainability Studies or Sustainable Engineering and Humanitarian Engineering

Favorite first-year course: Environmental Ethics. It was difficult but I enjoyed it because I learned so many things. I now find myself talking to family friends about related topics. Solidworks with Jim O鈥橞rien was fun.

Most challenging first-year course: Computer programming. I had no previous experience and it required me to start thinking in different ways. I learned a lot though, and even if I鈥檝e not completely mastered programming at least I have a basic understanding.

First-year lessons learned: Form a study group of engineering classmates. It鈥檚 important to have friends also within your major whom you can go to for support.

Connection: I went to tutoring through PEERS (COE鈥檚 student mentoring program) and now I go to that same upperclassman for advice on which professors and courses to take.

Outside class: I enjoy being by myself to recharge. You鈥檙e rarely alone so I need that time to myself, maybe do a hair mask or face mask!

Why 奶糖直播: Engineering is going to be difficult wherever you go, but 奶糖直播 offers professors who are really interested in helping you out. Supportive professors is something I don鈥檛 hear of in a lot of other places. 奶糖直播 Engineers also have a goal of helping other people. It鈥檚 very much oriented to how you can make the world a better place. That鈥檚 fostered here.

Career goal: Sustainability
