Robotics Engineering

"Both of my parents are engineers. I grew up playing with a lot of legos and I was on the robotics club in high school and I really enjoyed it. I thought robotics engineering might be something that I would want to pursue as a career. When I heard that UC Santa Cruz had a robotics engineering program, I looked into it and it looked really interesting and here we are!"
