Hi, my name is Rachel Lucas, and I am an
electrical engineering major here at the
University of Nevada, Reno. I chose to
major in electrical engineering because
I'm really passionate about renewable
energy and in high school I really was
interested in my math courses and
physics courses. While being an electrical
engineering major here at the University
of Nevada, Reno I've really gotten to
experience different internships through
the Reno area here at NV Energy as well
as in South Carolina at General Electric.
Additionally I've been in different
clubs on campus such as the Society of
Women Engineers, electrical engineering
through the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, Theta Tau as well
as the student government here on campus. My favorite memory through the clubs and
organizations I've been involved with
has been through the Society of Women
Engineers. They host various different
conferences on an annual level where you
can network with engineers from all over
the world as well as with companies. They
have over 200 of their career fair. After
graduation I plan to move back to my
hometown of Folsom, California. I'll be
working for CalISO in a rotational
program where I'll rotate through seven
departments in two years.
you
