New Semester, New Outlook

I have begun a new semester here at UTA. Currently I am taking mechanics of materials and I can see where course material corresponds with what I did during the summer. Things such as stress, strain, etc., which I worked out for various structures during the research opportunity have returned to the forefront of my studies. I look forward to seeing the next thing which will reemerge.

I am really astonished at how well the REU allowed me to foster a good relationship with many of the professors. It has made me well known among the faculty and it makes me feel special. I also see some of the other participants very often and have kept good relations with them, to the extent where I am currently working on projects with some of them.
