Meet Shania
Why did you choose to pursue engineering?
When I first got to college, I decided I wanted to do things with computers. Be it writing code or building the PCs themselves. So, I majored in computer engineering. During my second year of college, I realized that coding, an important pillar in computer engineering, wasn’t a passion of mine, but I did find the introductory electrical courses fascinating. I swapped majors and never looked back.
What do you like most about engineering?
Definitely the problem-solving aspect. Coming up with different solutions to the issues that arise on a daily basis is one of the most important functions of an engineer.
Advice for anyone aspiring to be an engineer?
Go for it! Just jump on in and spend that first semester perfecting your study plan. Figure out what works for you and what doesn’t, because you can’t complete an engineering program without studying. I highly advise finding a study group.
