“Starting at Southeastern laid the groundwork for my success at Missouri S&T. My calculus, physics, and chemistry classes from SIC transferred equally to Missouri S&T. The confidence I gained at SIC helped me embrace new challenges like Battlebots and Underwater Robotics. Graduating in May 2024, I have already secured a job to be a robotics engineer, designing and building mechatronic systems.”
