Inspiring Engineers
I chose teaching to help shape future engineers who can solve real-world challenges. My favorite part of the job is getting students to think critically about the problem. I’ve integrated my research on soil behavior under different ground conditions into my teaching through case studies and practical analysis projects.
Engineering at Mount Union
With small class sizes, students benefit from close interactions with faculty, ensuring personalized guidance and mentorship throughout their academic journey. Mount Union stands out for its emphasis on hands-on experience.
