Adaptable, creative, analytical and dedicated. What do you enjoy most about engineering? The small class sizes and the close relationships with faculty create a personalized learning experience. Professors not only know students by name but also actively seek our opinions, ensuring an engaged and collaborative learning environment. Tell us a little bit about your senior design project: My senior design project focuses on developing a wastewater treatment facility for a community in Costa Rica. They currently rely on septic tanks without proper effluent treatment, and the community faces issues like odors and land discharge. How has St. Thomas impacted your life? Engaging in the final senior design project has been an eye-opener, highlighting the challenges faced by many global communities. It has made me appreciate the wastewater systems in the United States that have been designed by other engineers. Personally, my time here has improved my engineering skills, helping me develop a deeper understanding of the multifaceted aspects of project execution and the importance of collaboration within a diverse team.
