Name: Vincent Pham Major: Computer Engineering (& Innovation and Entrepreneurship Minor) Extracurriculars: I am involved with a variety of engineering based projects, such as Terps Racing EV and Gamera-S, where I mainly work on electronic-related tasks. In addition I also actively participate in cultural clubs, I am a returning executive board member of the Thai Student Association. Some other examples include the Vietnamese Student Association, Filipino Cultural Association, and Japanese American Student Association. Some hobbies I love doing are graphic design, video editing, playing video games, and martial arts! Why did you become a peer mentor? To inspire others. It started from my teaching experience as a UTF for ENEE101, where I realized that teaching and mentoring was fun. Socializing and teaching students in the lab has been a rewarding experience, especially seeing them enjoy learning something new. My goal is to inspire new ECE students to help each other and be mentors themselves -- regardless of how much they know. To me, it feels like being a peer mentor is taking on a responsibility and promise to help future electrical and computer engineers move (fearlessly) forward. |

Name: Niyant Patel Major: Computer Engineering Extracurriculars: I was an Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Program member, working on the Dindefelo (Senegal) project. I also enjoy playing Squash and Badminton. Why did you become a peer mentor? I have benefitted greatly from the guidance I received from mentors, which has helped me adapt to demanding coursework, find valuable resources, and develop effective study strategies. This support was instrumental in my academic success and personal growth, and I'm committed to giving back to the ECE community by providing a robust framework and implementing initiatives to ensure that other students have access to the support they require. |
