University of Arkansas Student Named a New Face of Engineering

According to National Engineers Week, this list includes “15 of the most promising college engineering students from the United States—and across the world.” The winners were recognized for their academic, leadership and communication skills, as well as their involvement in community service and the engineering industry.
