My name is Kelsey Cathcart, and I'm from Portland, Oregon. I'm a first year at Wellesley, and my hopeful major is engineering. I am taking this class because it is right up my ally. I love building things and examining how they work. Aside from this and my love of math, the primary reason why I want to become an engineer is to work to find solutions that our society faces in this day and age. More specifically, I am concerned with the current environmental practices in place, and I would love to find a more sustainable and eco-friendly way to live through design. This class will give me an idea of what engineering is all about, and I look forward to working on new and practical projects every week.
Very glad to have you in the class, Kelsey. I'm pretty sure we've discussed this, but to be sure, just a reminder that engineering is not a field you can major in at Wellesley, so I hope you're exploring other possible majors here at the college. I'm happy to discuss further good ways to make your passion for engineering work, from cross-registration to considering engineering grad school to a dual degree program.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you want to incorporate engineering into your future plans, if not make it your complete focus. I am also very interested in designs that are built upon eco-friendly foundations. I think it's an aspect that should always be included in any project, no matter the scale.
