Let’s meet our next Maverick, Zoe. A senior industrial engineering major from Arlington. This hometown scholar is a first-generation college student who’s already interned at a fortune 500 company and is ready to launch her career. Take it away, Zoe.

– Thank you Alex, hey everyone. As a first-generation college student, I looked for university that provided quality education and a multitude of opportunities. UTA has supported my dream of becoming an engineer and helped me discover my passion within the Industrial Engineering Department. When deciding which engineering major to pursue, I was inspired by my engineering professors to explore all options UTA has to offer. The College of Engineering has a diversity of engineering programs with 12 undergraduate degrees, nine minors, as well as several master’s and PhD programs. After completing my first industrial engineering course, I knew where I belonged, and as an engineering student ambassador, I have the privilege of helping current and prospective Mavericks discover where they also belong. The College of Engineering provides resources openly accessible to all students. The engineering career fair opened the door to my first internship at a fortune 500 company. Now as a current senior, my angle of being an industrial engineer is within sight. UTA grads have gone on to do great things such as become astronauts, entrepreneurs and fortune 500 executives. Thanks to UTA, I am destined to succeed. UTA engineering is exciting, innovative, and multifaceted. Students interested in the health care industry may consider biomedical engineering, while other students interested in sustainability may consider resource and energy engineering. Whether engineering is just a part of your interest or your ultimate career goal, UTA definitely has you covered. The knowledge and experience I have gained for being an engineering student at UTA, set a strong foundation for my transition into professional career as an industrial engineer. My future is looking very bright thanks to UTA. Mav up everyone and back to you, Alex.

– Thank you Zoe. UTA is an engineering powerhouse with interdisciplinary research centers and aerodynamics, photonics, water transportation and plenty, plenty more.
