What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
Clearly define why you want to be an engineer and hold onto that reason when school gets tough. Remember, your time at UMD is not just about earning a degree; it's about preparing yourself to solve real-world problems and make a positive impact. If your "why" is strong enough, you will never quit. Embrace every opportunity to learn, innovate, and grow; your journey here will be rewarding and transformative.
