- [00:00:03.712]The reason I chose Electrical Engineering
- [00:00:05.741]is because my senior year, I joined the Robotics Team,
- [00:00:09.474]and I found out I really enjoyed working with robots
- [00:00:12.677]and working with the circuits
- [00:00:14.037]and meeting new people who are engineers.
- [00:00:16.128]The current research that I am doing
- [00:00:17.664]at my university is working with radios
- [00:00:20.977]and sending out signals.
- [00:00:23.008]The reason why we're working with this
- [00:00:24.304]is because we're trying to make it very efficient.
- [00:00:26.458]So then, say you're using your phone all day,
- [00:00:29.138]it won't die on you as quickly.
- [00:00:31.258]But I'm hoping that I can go into the robotics field
- [00:00:33.517]to maybe further robots in general,
- [00:00:37.738]get them to make the world maybe a bit of a safer place,
- [00:00:41.568]or a better place, just a more advanced place.
- [00:00:44.258]We do encourage women to join engineering,
- [00:00:46.797]because there are so many smart and intelligent
- [00:00:50.058]women out there that just don't even think about
- [00:00:52.945]this as an opportunity, because they don't know very much.
- [00:00:55.927]That's where my Engineering Ambassador background comes in.
- [00:00:59.597]We go around to K through 12 classes,
- [00:01:05.186]and we go talk to students,
- [00:01:07.064]informing them about engineering,
- [00:01:08.864]and that it is a possibility.
- [00:01:12.645]Engineering is rewarding.
- [00:01:14.775]When you've been working hours on end on a project,
- [00:01:17.227]and you finally get that working,
- [00:01:18.947]that is the best feeling I have ever had.
