Graduating Senior: Amber O'Brien

The past four years of learning in the Mechanical Engineering program here at SDSU have been the most challenging and rewarding years of my life. Amber made it a point to completely immerse herself in her major, forming study groups that would meet every day for weeks as they'd struggle through exam after exam all in an effort to learn and understand more than we did the previous week. Amber spent two summers working as a manufacturing engineering intern for a medical device company which only furthered my interest in the content she was surrounded with in the classroom. One of her favorite parts of working towards her mechanical engineering degree has been learning how to effectively communicate and collaborate with others especially in regards to group project work such as the Senior Design capstone projects. Once Amber graduates she wants to work for a medical device company in either manufacturing or research and development.
