SWE at the University of Nevada would like to introduce our first outstanding member for our Member Spotlight: Maureen Castruccio!
Maureen, Mo for short, is a current Mechanical Engineering senior at the University of Nevada, Reno. Mo is originally from the west coast and was attending the University of Rhode Island. She decided to transfer to UNR after feeling the urge to relocate closer to her parents and discovering that Reno’s Mechanical Engineering program was both more affordable and more prestigious than that of Rhode Island’s. She also cites “playing with Legos” as a true selling point… This is not a joke. Mechanical Engineering appealed to Mo because of the diversity of the job prospect market. She also hopes to be a lifelong learner, with a background in finance as she would like to run her own business one day. The UNR section of Society of Women Engineer’s has helped Mo by introducing her to other females in Engineering, a true minority in this field. She finds the mentor-ship she has received from older members the most influential, emphasizing their advice on how to cope with the stress and the pressure of getting an engineering degree.
Congratulations Mo!! we are so happy to have you as a member, and we are excited to see what your future will bring!
