"My favorite by far: an independent study in Aerospace Engineering with one of the engineering professors." — Kash Sigdel '19

How did your Calvin education prepare you for a career in engineering?
Calvin’s engineering program has equipped me well for the future by helping me realize that engineering is definitely a career I will deeply enjoy. It's something I've learned gradually through the classes I take and my interaction with professors, graduates, and fellow students.

What kinds of opportunities—in coursework, off-campus or with outside groups—were available to you through the engineering program?
I’ve had opportunities such as the study-abroad program, really cool design projects assigned for engineering classes, career fairs for engineers, tours to engineering plants and factories, and my favorite by far: an independent study in Aerospace Engineering with one of the engineering professors.

What’s one thing you would want to tell someone starting their journey at Calvin?
Professors here at Calvin are pretty cool and resourceful, so get to know your professors more!
