My Student Life
I am becoming a undergraduate student of Virginia Tech in September 2014. Learning engineering in Virginia Tech is a much fun and exciting thing for me. Engineer is a familiar word for me. Watching some outstanding building like Three Gorges Dam from Chinese news makes me know that engineers building lots of things. However, in my high school, I did not get too much information about engineer but learn more about natural science like physics and Math. As an international student from China, I choose engineering as my major in Virginia Tech because my love of Physics. Learning rules of how the world running is a quite fun thing for me. However, VT makes me know that engineers not just learn physics. They learn coding, and mechatronics. Engineering makes me excited. Even though I am a mechanical engineer major, I still learn coding and the corporation of different engineers will build an amazing thing. I am hoping in graduate school I could participate in more computer science researches and exploring machine learning.

Altria innovation activity- Lego robot competition! Our robot 'solid turtle", it needs to fit in 7*7 inches box. Our team are winners! We final get Chromecast as a award!
This is our engineering project.
in this project, I fiished all the inventor drawing by myself AND inventor design . It is a quite a fun process learn by myself.
I enjoy this process.
The hand looks cool!
