Hometown: Westfield, Indiana
Current year: Senior

Greg says he's interested in being part of large-scale projects once he graduates.
Why I chose Purdue Civil and Construction Engineering
Both my dad and brother went Purdue, so I already knew about what a great university it is. I’ve also always liked putting things together and breaking them apart, so I knew I wanted to pursue something in either science or engineering. Then I learned about the construction engineering program here and tools and workshops available to students and knew this would be a perfect fit for me.
Emphasis area
I am in the construction engineering program. I love the idea of working on largescale projects that will serve to benefit communities.

Greg is captain of fabrication for Purdue ASCE's steel bridge team.
Experience through internships
Another thing I love about the construction engineering program are the internship opportunities afforded to its students. The program does an incredible job connecting students to companies and alumni that can enhance your understanding of the field and prepare you for your career.
After I graduate
After I graduate, I want to enter the professional field and join a team that works on large-scale projects.
