"One of the best parts of engineering from my experience has been taking theories and whitepapers and turning them into reality. This can be something physical or purely digital. The hours/days/weeks of frustration can be incredibly tiring. But that day when it finally works or you realize you solved an adjacent problem...that's one of the greatest feelings."

"One of the most satisfying parts of being an engineer is seeing your projects come to life. Once I became experienced enough to be the lead engineer in plan production, I had the opportunity to see a Runway Rehabilitation that I had designed, be constructed at McKinnon - St. Simons Island Airport in Georgia."

"While not the intended use of my degree, I believe that rock climbing is a fantastic application for an engineering background. Critical thinking is required with the greatest consequences at hand for a prolonged period of time, constantly analyzing variables through many iterations."

"My first exam in college was Chemistry and I bombed it. I immediately thought "No way I can do this". But I had a lot on the line. It was sink or swim right off the bat and the small groups is what made the difference. Even if you're not struggling, the small groups are what could make your B an A."
