What are your tips for adjusting to something new?

By Sophia Deras, civil engineering major with a minor in geology

I’d imagine I had a similar introduction into the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) world as a lot of other engineering majors. I loved my multiplication worksheets, built the most structurally sound lego towers I could, and tried my hardest to read A Brief History of Time in middle school.
