E-mail address: Kyle Hosford
Hometown: San Diego
Why engineering?: I'm studying to become an engineer because developing useful devices, buildings, and machines is one of the most exciting ways for me to benefit society. The engineering profession requires you to be a life-long learner, as techniques and applications are constantly evolving. This consistent set of new challenges, the potential to improve the quality of life on Earth (or elsewhere), and the ability to be on the forefront of technology are what make engineering so rewarding.

Major: Biomedical Engineering (3rd Year)
E-mail address: Clement Kondru
Hometown: Irvine, California
Why engineering?: I have always had a deep fondness of the medical field, but through having an internship with a biomedical company and through the exposure I have received through biomedical engineering classes and research I have seen that by marrying both engineering and biology there is a great amount of impact the biomedical engineering field can make to the future of medicine. I really want to be a part of that.
Fun fact: I have a huge passion for music, and I have been playing guitar and have sung in choirs since I was in elementary school. I also used to collect rocks when I was little.

Major: Civil & Environmental Engineering (4th Year)
E-mail address: Jessie Chen
Hometown: Fullerton, CA
Why engineering?: I want to be an engineer because I believe that engineering is one of the fundamental ways to make a difference in the world. We depend on structures not only to house and protect us from the open world, but also to navigate through it. As engineers we are able to come together to renew and create these structures for our future.
Fun fact: : Even though I'm studying engineering I have a passion for the arts as well. There is something about reproducing and creating images and figures through photography, drawing/painting that helps me make sense of reality.

Major: Biomedical Engineering: Premed (2nd Year)
E-mail address: Arnie Lynn Bengo
Hometown: Lawndale, Ca
Why engineering?: I grew up with a nurse for a mother and an engineer for a father, so it's no surprise that I'd a passion for both. Biomedical engineering merges the technological side of medicine that fits perfectly with my aspirations of becoming a doctor and a medical researcher.
Fun fact: I'm the eldest of five children and I work as a Barista at Starbucks. My store is on Bison and Cali., so come visit me!

Why engineering?: I would like to apply the technical side of engineering to the human side of medicine.
Fun fact: I enjoy doing research, learning new things, and getting published

Major: Aerospace Engineering / Materials Science Engineering (4th Year)
E-mail address: Matthew Tran
Hometown: El Monte, CA
Why engineering?: It is the combination of analyzing situations, learning new things, and finding creative solutions to complex problems that made me want to go into engineering. I am a firm believer in the ability of engineers to directly impact and improve society and I could never go never go into a career where I didn't have a positive effect on others.
Fun fact: I was named after the owner of a local chain of Asian supermarkets.

E-mail address: Quynh Ho
Hometown: South El Monte, CA
Why engineering?: Everything about buildings fascinate me. Engineering teaches me to look beyond the aesthetic of a structure and appreciate its strength, stability and durability. I want to become a structural engineer and would love to design stable, durable, and highly functional "green" buildings and infrastructures.
Fun fact: : Doodling helps me focus and remember what people say in lectures and meetings.

Major: Civil Engineering/ Materials Science minor (3rd Year)
E-mail address: Rebecca Shum
Hometown: Arcadia, CA
Why engineering?: I can't memorize facts for the life of me, that's why I'm not a Bio major. I'm pretty good at Math and I love drawing and painting so my mom suggested Civil Engineering. She also said it makes big bucks.
Fun fact: I'm double jointed in my fingers and so are my mom and sister. I always thought it was a normal thing until people at school were saying how weird it was. Now I'm super self-conscious about it but I guess I can consider it an interesting fact.

E-mail address: Jacqueline Li
Hometown: Saipan/Arcadia, CA
Why engineering?: I really enjoyed using a soldering iron to melt wire when I was young and I guess the appeal of that was too hard to ignore. =) Honestly though, it's probably because it appeals to my practical side while allowing me time to dabble in my interest in art and programming.
Fun fact: I really like miniature versions of everyday objects.

Major: Civil Engineering (3rd Year)
E-mail address:Will Heinze
Hometown: Kernville, CA
Why engineering?: I really like to understand mathematical models of the physical world as it quenches my thirst for wanting to know why things work. I think it would be a great challenge to use those concepts in order to optimize, and make what we already have better, stronger, you name it.
