Through course work grounded in collaboration, I was able to gain insights into project management, technical communication, and innovation, as well as leadership and ethics. The curriculum complements my economics degree as I have gained insight into real-world scenarios and practical applications of many concepts covered by my major that are useful not only to engineers, but also to anyone that is looking grow as a leader, communicator, or critical thinker.
