Senior spotlight
Kanokwan (Kano) Tungkitkancharoen
Mechanical Engineering major
Public Policy minor
“Many technologies I care about, like renewable energy systems, depend as much on policy decisions as engineering design. Studying both fields has helped me think about how innovations can scale to reach the communities that need them most.”
Clay Lewis
Music major
Computer Science minor
“Studying computer science has both enhanced the way I approach music creation and given me more ways to express myself. Music can be as much about problem solving as computer science is and learning to break a problem down and approach it methodically has been an invaluable part of my toolset as a composer.”
Olivia Rivera
Mechanical Engineering major
Spanish minor
“I’ve always believed that well-rounded people are the ones who not only find success in their future endeavors, but also fulfillment and purpose. I have begun to see the value that science, art, technology, and social science have on everything we, as humans, experience.”
