    Persistence. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as my mother likes to put it. I began pursuing an internship this past fall at the SWE National Conference in Houston, Texas. I made sure to read up on all the companies beforehand and target those that particularly interested me. One company that really sparked my interest was Kiewit Corporation. One of the largest general contractors in the world, Kiewit divisions include...

    This summer, I am going to be studying abroad in London at the USC ACCENT Center right next to the London School of Economics! I just signed up for the two classes I will be taking – the technical writing course that all engineers must take (WRIT340) and engineering economy (ISE460).   I have never been outside of North America, except for one trip in middle school when I visited...

If you drive down Figueroa, you arrive at LA Live, a trendy spot to visit with your friends. With restaurants, the Staple’s Center, and...

    One word that comes to mind when I try to describe USC and Viterbi is “engaging.” Throughout my college experience, USC has engaged me in all kinds of ways: Academically: Particularly in my upper division ISE courses, my professors have really drawn me into their subjects both in and out of the classroom. Many of my assignments are group projects, and I have found that there is a lot I...

    I usually don’t get too excited for physics lab every week. I guess it’s because it’s right after my OChem lab, which is usually pretty intense and hands-on (but in a good way!). Physics labs are usually a bit more relaxed, and you also have to do a set of questions and a quiz at the end, so there is more writing involved. Last semester, I took the “Mechanics” lab,...

    Hi everyone! So, my major is Industrial & Systems Engineering, or ISE. What exactly is ISE? A lot of people characterize ISE as “the engineering field for the business type”. But in general, many seem to have different perceptions of what this field actually is. My definition of ISE is: A branch of engineering that seeks to optimize efficiency, profit, or whatever else one may be interested in a system...

    As the year progresses (and gets increasingly harder!), and as some of my friends are finding out that they will be studying abroad next semester, I can’t help but recall my own study abroad experiences in Madrid. Studying abroad was far and away one of the greatest experiences of my life. To any and all who are considering I would only say: Just do it! Being in a new country...

    There is no place to have a fun Halloween like on a college campus, and in the past I have been too lazy/cheap to go all out with the halloween costume stuff. However, this year my roommate and I are going all out as: FRODO AND SAM! My roommate, Ali, is an international relations major, chinese minor, something else minor… that I’ve lived with all 4 years of college. I’m...
