With only one elective left to fulfill her chemical engineering degree requirement, Monica Torralba ’18 decided to do something a little unconventional.

“I noticed that a lot of the other chemical engineering students in my class were taking business and marketing electives,” she said. “But I’m more of a hands-on type of person.”

After talking with some friends in the industrial design department in the School of Art + Design, the Bloomingdale, N.J., native and Albert Dorman Honors College student decided to take a mechanics and electronics class.
