Once I got into the work, I realized I chose engineering for a purpose. I enjoyed the class structure, being thrown right into it instead of being lectured. I’m hands-on, and that’s why I chose engineering. I’ve learned to study and work independently. Arcadia has helped me broaden my perspective and it has given me a wide base of knowledge.
