Classification: Senior

Hometown: Grapevine, TX

Major: Chemical Engineering

Office: President

Why did you choose your major?

I chose my major because I'm very interested in finding a way to reduce the risk of pollution to the environment. Instead of going straight into environmental engineering, I went into chemical so I could go more in depth and have a broad idea about the separation processes of chemicals.

Cecelya Fung

Classification: Sophomore

Hometown: Ovilla, TX

Major: Chemical Engineering

Office: Executive Coordinator

Why did you choose your major?: I chose chemical engineering because I was interested in the chemistry part of engineering. Chemical engineering includes maximizing resources to greatly distribute the correct ratio of the product in production. This fascinated me. I was amazed at the calculations and the work put behind fixing the small link in the chain to have a domino effect that affects a mass production. As an engineering major, I enjoy thinking logically and problem solving.

Emmanuel Camacho

Classification: Senior

Major: Computer Science

Why did you choose your major?: I wanted to learn how to build software and make cool, fun little projects on the side. So I decided, why not Computer Science!? I honestly had no idea how to code coming into college, but after my first semester, I fell in love with coding and learned that I can make a real difference while doing something I enjoy. Although, in reality computer science and engineering aren't always about building something, it's a thought process that goes hand in hand with problem solving and how can we improve technologies and infrastructures.Tthis way of thinking has really changed my perspective on what it means to be an engineer for the better!
