Testimonials

I decided to pursue a second Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering because since I was a kid I enjoyed building things. I have always wanted to learn how buildings, roads, and bridges are constructed. I graduated from San Jose State University with Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and double minor in Human Rights and Women Studies in May 2015; however, after graduating my curiosity for Civil Engineering increased as I learned more about the field. I decided to go back to school and pursue a second bachelors in the field that has always interested me. I took Introduction to Engineering during the Summer 2016 quarter at De Anza College. This class has reassured me that I want to become a Civil Engineer. Using my imagination and skills to create new things is something that I find challenging, rewarding, and fascinating. Pursuing a career in the field that has always interested me has been the best decision I have made.
