"Engineering is an incredible field and although I do not work in it, the mindset and perspective gained through going through an engineering program is invaluable. The opportunity to be a student leader and reinforce principles of engineering through teaching is one that I am so glad that I had. Whether I realize it or not I am almost always using an "engineer's perspective" to approach the patients that I see or the research problems that I work on."

"I remember thinking "This is silly, it's so easy" and "gosh this person is useless." This sounds harsh but its very realistic to have to deal with people who don't pull their weight and finding a way to work with it. Also, sometimes the easiest tasks are just an opportunity to really explore. Once you have the basic concepts you have the freedom to do whatever you want to do."

" I've recently fell in love with my current position, but held 2 jobs prior to get here; however, I've always been in a position to make my own decisions. Here's the rub: In general, employers of new grads are looking for people who are creative, can think, and ideally maintain a modest and worldly attitude. They DO NOT expect you to come out of college prepared to run a job autonomously. Engineering at UB empowered me with the curiosity and work ethic to get great jobs both in and outside of field, and i do believe this in unique to an Engineering background."

"There were many long nights of studying, sometimes only to fail a test, and I was rejected from multiple internship programs. But as I look back I realize that I was struggling and working alongside some of the most interesting people I've ever met, many of whom are still my friends today. Because of our problem solving and creative natures, engineers rarely do only engineering."

"My engineering background has made the world appear differently to me. Courses like statics and physics literally explain why things in the universe behave the way they do, and most people will never know why your phone slides off your car seat when you slam on the breaks or why water comes out of a hose faster when you cover one side of the opening, and I take pride in this grasp I have on the world."
