Meet Elizabeth Bremberg, a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering major with a Robotics minor at San José State University (SJSU). Elizabeth's journey into engineering was sparked by her early fascination with sciences. It was her involvement in a local Girl Scout robotics troop, the Space Cookies VEX Team, that ignited her passion for engineering.

The deciding factor for her during high school to pursue engineering was the applied approach that was lacking in science. Through hands-on experiences and mentorship from women engineers, Elizabeth found her calling in Mechanical Engineering, especially with robotics.

Choosing SJSU's College of Engineering was a natural decision for Elizabeth since it was her parent's alma mater and the opportunities presented by Silicon Valley's tech hub. The diversity among the faculty members and their years of industry experience was what solidified her decision in the end.

Elizabeth was awarded the Gordon Family Scholarship twice, allowing her to pursue education without the burden of additional debt and alleviating financial stress on her family. Thanks to this scholarship, she was even able to declare a minor to add to her academic achievements.

Beyond academics, Elizabeth is actively involved in both school and community activities. Being in Beta Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon, a SJSU sorority that focuses on uplifting women and other underrepresented individuals in STEM fields. She also volunteers with the Space Cookies VEX Team, providing guidance and support to aspiring engineers. Additionally, she serves as the president of Circle K International on campus, coordinating service projects to benefit the local community.

In the future, Elizabeth aspires to combine her passion for robotics with her love for nature. Her dream job involves exploring innovative soft robotics, with a focus on biomimicry to create robots that will help our ongoing problems of conserving natural resources.

Reflecting on her journey, Elizabeth wished that she had started researching all her possibilities and options sooner, this would have helped her tremendously when entering upper-division courses and her career field. One way she advises is talking to people with different backgrounds in classes or student organizations to get a better sense of all the opportunities that are being offered that you might not see.

Elizabeth also never thought of applying for scholarships, due to the pool of applicants competing, but after having started the process, it was no longer intimidating. She encourages students to apply for any or all scholarships they can find, even off-campus opportunities.

Elizabeth's story is about determination, passion, and a commitment to making a difference in both the engineering field and the world at large. As she prepares to graduate, her journey will hopefully inspire fellow students, showcasing the transformative power of education and the boundless opportunities within the engineering field.
