The University of Wisconsin Platteville
I am currently one semester into my Civil Engineering major at The University of Wisconsin Platteville. I passed all of my classes in the first semester while balancing it with a healthy fitness schedule along with being apart of two separate theatrical productions held in the Center for the Arts theater. I am thrilled to be taking apart of the Civil Engineering program, and the topics presented in class going over the processes of engineering and the learning that can be done to boost my performance in that field. I am enthusiastic for the future, and the branches that spring from civil engineering from water resource, to surveying, to structural, all of them have done nothing but increased my interest in the field, and I can not wait to learn more.
