Nina is a fourth-year Civil Engineering student who became a part of PUC because she was interested in understanding just how she could help others with her degree.
As the Project Manager for Team India, she writes weekly reports that are sent out to the members of SLAB and she keeps everyone organized and on-schedule, helping out whenever someone is in need of assistance.
Upon graduation, she plans to have a full-time job in the field of renewable energy or clean water. She hopes to attend graduate school in a few years and pursue an environmental topic. International work would be amazing.
“I love helping people, and that's something I always want to keep central to my work. International work is also a good challenge because you have to understand different cultures and practices to succeed in other countries. PUC allows me to do both. I'm excited to be on this journey and become a better person through it.”

& Technical Assistant
Erin is a third-year Civil Engineering student who looks forward to tackling and implementing a real-word project.
She is the Project Logistics Manager & a Technical Assistant. As the Project Logistics Manager, she will be responsible for creating and resource-loaded Gantt chart and scheduling material arrival to the site. ​And, as the Technical Assistant, she will be working on the electricity & wiring plan, coordinating technical advisor meetings, developing sacrificial scope, and identifying QA standards. ​
Erin likes that PUC will provide project experience that is more realistic than most other opportunities available to her as a student engineer.
“PUC projects require students to use negotiation and communication skills to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders, while also raising thousands of dollars and learning how to design and build a structure from start to finish.”
After she graduates, she plans to work with a civil engineering firm and is considering graduate school to acquire a more specific focus to pursue her research interests.
