Leslie Morgan, a computer science sophomore and another great example of the 海角社区 Engineer, is developing her first start-up and is one of only a handful of women currently on the 海角社区 TigerRacing Formula SAE team.
Petroleum engineering alumnus Brian Stewart personifies the entrepreneurial spirit and problem solving skills of the 海角社区 Engineer. He developed the first fully-mobile, fully-electric, hydraulic fracturing unit that allows for less pollution and a smaller physical footprint on the environment.
