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!
