Civil Engineering

Angel Hernadez

I am a civil engineering major who plans to specialize in construction management or transportation. Being able to apply what you learn in school to the real world is one of the reasons that I chose this major. I want to make visible changes to the world to help my community and if I can make a living at the same time, it's killing two birds with one stone in my eyes. Cars, video games, and soccer are my three main distractions when I have free time. I really admire Japanese engineering when it comes to cars because they've made very reliable and efficient cars throughout the years. I like playing Call of duty with my friends, which is almost never since we are always busy. Real Madrid has been my favorite soccer team since I was little and I love watching their games whenever I have the chance. My motivation comes from my family and being able to take advantage of the opportunity I have as a first generation student. I want to make sure that my parents know that it was worth their effort to come to the US and fulfill their American dream. (Participating Terms: Fall 2022 - Spring 2024)
