“I was able to pursue 8 internships at 6 different companies across 4 separate states. From these opportunities, I was able to understand how individual systems interconnected and functioned under the vision of their owners, management, and overseeing leadership at companies of varying sizes and industries. I can confidently say that I would not be where I am today if it weren't for the first steps I took through the professional resources within the College of Engineering.”
