What is one piece of advice you would like to share with new Maryland Engineering students?
For new Maryland Engineering students, it's important to take advantage of hands-on learning opportunities. These experiences give you practical skills that go along with what you learn in class. Get involved in research projects, student organizations, and internships early to build your network and gain a variety of skills. Remember, persistence and teamwork are crucial for overcoming challenges and succeeding in your engineering journey.
