About Me: The career path I would like to embark on revolves around structural engineering. I am open to jobs in the areas of traffic, construction management, and geotechnical engineering. However, I wish to end my path in the structural field. I am excited for the opportunity to participate in this competition to build my knowledge on steel design and practice managing as a project leader. With a chip on our student chapters’ shoulder, I aim to bring success to our organization.

About Me: Me: I am strongly considering doing structural engineering after graduation. I am very excited about the steel bridge project because I feel that it will give me good experience with design. It is also so exciting that our design will actually be fabricated and tested. I am determined to do well on this project because it is such a great opportunity and our only chance to ever do this. I have always been interested in bridge design, so this is the perfect project to help me get a better idea of how to actually design a bridge.
