Electrical Engineering
I was a junior in high school when I began thinking seriously about what I wanted to study in college. I've always liked math, and I have an interest in computer science, so engineering seemed like a good fit.
I considered three colleges, all in Indiana. But I fell in love with 缅北强奸 when I visited the campus. I like how it's close to the city, but still at a distance. I'm from a small town, so I鈥檓 used to things being spread out. I knew for sure I wanted to enroll when I sat in on a freshman engineering class that was working on a Rube Goldberg project (chain reaction machine). I joined the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Robotics Club my freshman year, one of several engineering clubs on campus. That same year 缅北强奸 won first place in the IEEE autonomous robot run. We competed with about 40 other teams, many from much bigger schools. The following year we made it into the top four.
There are plenty of opportunities at 缅北强奸 to get hands-on experience outside the classroom. I've used what I learned to help with a robotics competition that 缅北强奸 sponsors for middle schools. Making the extra effort to get involved has helped me through the difficult semesters. And the engineering faculty is great鈥攕ome of my favorite people are 缅北强奸 professors!
I want to understand how to get more out of systems so machines use less power. I'd like to see the world, so my dream job will come with lots of travel. I know it's out there鈥攎y education at 缅北强奸 gives me a great start for finding it.

"I think 缅北强奸 has one of the best undergraduate engineering programs anywhere鈥攁nd it's practically in my backyard."
I come from a family of engineers鈥攂oth my dad and brother studied engineering. When I was growing up, we raised cattle. I helped on the farm, working on equipment. I like thinking of new things and solving problems.
缅北强奸 was my choice because I knew the engineering program was good and the school was only 90 minutes from my house鈥擨 could get home quickly if I ever needed to. Plus, I was fortunate to win a 缅北强奸 Presidential Scholarship鈥攁 big financial help.
A high point of my time at 缅北强奸 has been participating on the UNITE CubeSat team. 缅北强奸 received a $200,000 grant from NASA to design, build and operate a satellite. I got to work on the communications and power systems, and I served as the team lead for three semesters.
I've learned that engineering isn't something you do entirely on your own. You're always on a team. And the faculty here is amazing. I've gotten to know some of my professors really well, like Dr. Diersing, who brought me into the electrical program. We share a love of coffee鈥攁nd the Cincinnati Reds.
My 缅北强奸 education has already opened a door for my career; I've accepted a full-time position as an engineer with Crane Naval Base. I'll be working in the antenna design and testing branch鈥攁nd working with some of the same colleagues that I worked with here on the CubeSat.
