A place to learn: Alumna helps build a new future for Peruvian children
Andrea Ardiles followed the path of many School of Civil and Environmental Engineering students after graduation: she walked out of the classroom and straight into a job in her field. In her case, the job was in her native Peru, designing and building hydropower plants for MWH Global. And one day, she gave it all up. The best plans are a long time in the making, and Ardiles wasn’t simply walking away from her civil engineering job. She was diving into a cause she’d been dabbl
Familiar ground: How a high school internship prepared Kathrine Udell to jump right into research as
Kathrine Udell preps her computer-based experiment last year at Kennesaw Mountain High School. Udell worked with School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Ph.D. student Atiyya Shaw on a research project assessing how young drivers (her peers in high school) perceive the complexity of roadway environments. The work was an extension of Shaw's research, and it led Udell to work as an undergraduate researcher after she started classes this fall at Georgia Tech. (Photo: Atiyya
