Meet the Ann-gineer

Hi everyone! I'm Ann, and I'm a sophomore. I don't have a major yet, but I am considering something in the humanities department, maybe International Relations? I'm taking the class because my dad is an engineer, and I have some engineering experience myself. I thought it would be cool to take a course about some "bigger picture" aspects of engineering, especially making a difference for people in need. I had the opportunity to visit Costa Rica last spring, and saw firsthand the extreme poverty that many people live in, in stark contrast to wealthy tourists and resorts. I'm definitely interested in safe, clean, sustainable irrigation techniques during the dry season. Many natives, making a living through agriculture, would benefit from year-round farming opportunities.
