Each December and May I profile a handful of seniors who are graduating from Temple University’s College of Engineering. I love interviewing promising students on the cusp of moving on to exciting jobs or interesting graduate programs, and I am fascinated by the breadth of engineering disciplines and how applicable the field is to our daily lives.

Among the latest profiles:

• Carrigan Braun, a mechanical engineer working on space systems and electronic packaging for a Space Coast contractor in Melbourne, Florida. Her firm developed some of the satellite technology that Google Maps utilized to guide her around San Francisco during her internship with the Pacific Gas & Electric Company the previous summer;
•  Gabriella Suarez, who is now a software engineer and technical analyst for JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Wilmington, Delaware; and
• Timothy Schisselbauer, a bioengineering graduate inspired by his physician uncle to enter medical school at Temple.
