Fouzia Noor, a COA student originally from Pakistan,
has recently been accepted to East Carolina
University and will be
entering their engineering program, having gained admission to the university
through COA’s new Engineering Transfer Agreement with ECU. The transfer
agreement was created to ensure educational opportunities exist for eastern North Carolina students
interested in engineering careers.
As she prepares to transfer, Fouzia is very excited about her future in
engineering and the opportunities that are now possible for her. Fouzia was a
student in COA’s Introduction to Engineering course (EGR 150), a class which
she was enthusiastic about, and a class which she says helped her realize that
she has the ability to pursue a career in engineering. “Before taking this
class I wanted to be an engineer but I was not sure if I am capable of it or
not. Now, when almost done with the class, I am sure that this is the only
thing that I want to do and I will do my best to make it happen,” explains Ms.
Noor.
Upon graduation from ECU, Fouzia has plans for a career in which she
can mix her two passions - engineering and biology – and apply her talents to
the field of biomedical engineering. She would like to participate in research
and innovation for a better treatment of diabetes. Prosthetic limb design and
manufacturing is another field of interest for Ms. Noor. Utilizing the
opportunity afforded her by the Engineering Transfer Agreement, Fouzia is on
the path to achieve a four year university education which will teach her the
necessary skills and give her the confidence to achieve her goals of helping
people.
