Member profile:

I was privileged to receive my undergraduate education at an institution that offered many global engineering programs. Being able to take a tour in Silicon Valley, study abroad twice, and complete a humanitarian course in Europe was a life-changing experience. I understand that not every student might be able to do something similar, which is why I want to be part of making it possible for more students. Being an international student now myself, I want to be able to contribute to the discussions, research, and planning for international programs that will enable other engineering students to live experiences similar to mine. I am currently working to develop my research skills in the field of engineering education, and want to focus some of my research around programs  including RSAP, in the hope of improving international engineering practices overall.
