One of the reasons I was so attracted to USC during the college admissions process was Dean Yortsos’ concept of Engineering Plus . This concept aims to show that Viterbi engineers are not just engineers who do boring engineer things; we have so much more to offer in other talents like art, design, theater, and writing. In addition, Engineering Plus does not just mean Viterbi engineers add a second major or minor in another field unrelated to engineering—we also incorporate our other interests in our research projects, internship work, and extracurricular activities.
The past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to get to know some Viterbi students who embody the concept of Engineering Plus. We’ll be continuing this series on our Instagram account, so be sure to follow us to see more in the coming weeks!
I thought I’d share these awesome Viterbi students:
1. Adam, Freshman studying CSBA
2. Martin, Junior studying CSBA
3. Allison, Sophomore studying BME
I am excited to interview more Viterbi students doing unique things outside of their coursework. If you want to read about my experience with Engineering Plus, you can read my blog about how I learned to combine my major and minor into my research and personal projects. Also, you can learn about some electives I took that helped me on this path as well.
So, I’ll leave you with one question: What’s your plus?
