Why Iowa State: Because
of its strong reputation in engineering and the
campus itself. I like the open space on central
campus.
Best part of being an Iowa
State student:
The opportunities! We have a great recreation
center, several student clubs, and many resources to
help you with your education–like supplemental
instruction and learning communities.
About Semiconductors:
This is my research area. Semiconductors are
everywhere–the Flash memory for your USB drive,
solar cells, and laptop displays are all examples.
Dream Job: Product
development engineer at a semiconductor fabrication
facility. I would look at the whole process of how a
semiconductor is designed, manufactured, and
tested.
Advice to New Students:
Live in the
residence halls and really get to know those people,
get involved in a few student organizations, and
study!
