Why she recommends Cal Poly's BRAE department:
"The tools I gained while studying in the Cal Poly BRAE Department have made the difference in my career. The classes and teacher involvement in the BRAE Department make the learning experience more enjoyable and worthwhile. Having access to facilities such as the water delivery facility and the irrigation practices field provide hands-on learning tools that are not available at other schools or in other departments. I would greatly encourage any student interested in civil or agricultural engineering to consider the BioResource and Agricultural Engineering Department."
