[00:00:00.391](energetic music)
[00:00:04.778]When I tell people that I'm an engineering major
[00:00:08.063]the first thing they're like, "Oh, what engineering major?"
[00:00:10.853]And I say biology, they go like, "Whoa!
[00:00:13.881]Hold up, that is too long!"
[00:00:15.314]And I say, "Stop freaking out."
[00:00:17.196]I feel that Nebraska is really trying
[00:00:21.316]to enforce the perception that anybody can be an engineer.
[00:00:25.117]It doesn't matter where you come from,
[00:00:26.451]what you look like.
[00:00:27.627]I think one of the most exciting things
[00:00:28.988]was to go to a classroom and see
[00:00:30.652]there were almost an equal amount of females
[00:00:32.425]as there were equal amount of males
[00:00:33.783]and everybody from different communities were in the class.
[00:00:36.528]I'm like, "Yes!"
[00:00:38.960]I think that Nebraska has a beautiful framework.
[00:00:42.342]We just had The Complete Engineering Conference
[00:00:45.151]where we got to interact with other engineering majors
[00:00:47.781]and be on a level with them on a non technical basis
[00:00:50.932]and understand how they think
[00:00:52.059]and how they come up with solutions.
[00:00:53.894]It is comforting to know that there are different programs
[00:00:56.892]and courses that UNL is trying to place
[00:01:00.268]to say that everybody is welcome here,
[00:01:02.960]your story matters.
[00:01:04.753]Everybody who comes here,
[00:01:05.825]their story matters.
[00:01:08.680]Engineering is life
[00:01:10.318]because no matter how much they try to decorate it up,
[00:01:13.627]it was engineering that got us to where we were.
[00:01:16.226](laughing)
[00:01:18.419]In one form of another.
[00:01:20.096]It helps you live so it is life.
[00:01:23.503]Engineering (speaking in foreign language)
[00:01:25.417](energetic music)
