I am currently a Junior in Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University. I chose to study Chemical Engineering because of both my upbringing, and my high school AP Chemistry teacher. My father was a Chemical Engineer, therefore I was raised to understand the impact that Chemical Engineers have on the world around them. During "Take Your Kid to Work Day" I was able to tour an oil company and learn about the exciting things an engineer gets to do. I knew right away that engineering was the career I was looking for. I hadn't decided which concentration of engineering I wanted to pursue, though, until I met my AP Chemistry teacher. She demonstrated the importance of Chemistry in our world and how an engineer can take the world's current knowledge of Chemistry and enhance it to do extraordinary things.
The following are a few of the courses I have taken thus far as a Chemical Engineering Student. These courses are those in which I have learned the most and enjoyed the most. Honestly, I did struggle through all three of these courses at some point, but it seems that these courses are still the ones that influenced me both academically and personally.

Quantitative Analysis
Quantitative Analysis is a class based on quantitatively solving chemistry problems. In this class, every lesson is based on gathering information, thinking critically, and making a conclusion. Objectives achieved in Quantitative Analysis include:
This course taught me how to analytically approach problems and communicate my conclusions effectively. Both of these attributes will help tremendously when given projects in the work place.
The attached document is the abstract portion of a project done in Quantitative Analysis Lab. Through the project my team and I proved that a Pharmaceutical company was falsely labeling a calcium supplement bottle.
- Use analytical tools (spectrophotometer, gas chromatography, titration etc.)
- Apply stoichiometry to quantify reactions
- Statistical analysis to evaluate reactions
- Write analytical papers to demonstrate learning
