Hi, I’m Adrien, and I am currently a sophomore studying electrical engineering with a focus in robotics. I was born in France and came to America when I was 7, moving around the West Coast, before eventually ending up in Portland, ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ. I currently want to pursue a Master of Business Administration to empower the next generation of engineers in developing more convenient and affordable technologies that will help mitigate the effects of climate change. I’m also in the Honors College to help me get the skills and experience I need for my master’s.
On campus, I participate in Global Formula Racing, where I get hands-on experience, soldering and wiring components. I also participated in the IEEE Power & Energy Society, where I learned to buy components and plan an engineering project. When I’m not in class and I’m doing dance, I’m currently working on making hip hop choreography and learning break dancing.
If I must give one piece of advice to prospective students, scheduling is essential to success in school. That also means scheduling some time to relax, hang out with friends, join fun clubs, or attend events.
Helpful Resources
Planning is essential for many engineering majors, so you don't get bottlenecked on a certain class. Websites that I always go back to prepare in advance are MyDegrees and "Engineering course requirements by major." However, the most important website that any engineer should use is a calendar like Google’s or Apple’s to save all their classes and major events.
