2007-2008 Engineering Ambassadors: Matt Maddex

Major: Electrical Engineering

Hometown: Salt Lake City, Utah

Why I'm an Engineering Ambassador

I am studying electrical engineering because I have an interest in engineering and science. I am an engineering ambassador because I think its important for future engineering students have an interest in what they are studying.

What I'm working on

I am working at rocky mountain power as an intern. I'm taking three classes that all sound interesting to me.

Why I like the U's College of Engineering

Other than the fact that they let me in, my favorite part about the college of engineering so far has been the professors. There have been classes that were not my favorite, but I've never had a problem with the professors. Its usually pretty easy to get some extra help if I need it.

What I plan to do

My plan is to continue with school as long as someone will have me. I'd like to go to graduate school at ASU, they have a interdisciplinary program called Arts, Media, and Engineering that sounds like something I that could keep me in school for at least another two years.

Do you have any hobbies outside of studying, working and attending school?

My most time consuming hobby is music. I like to listen, write/record, and play music. I also like to cook, golf, and sail. If I had a motorcycle I would ride that. I decided that I'm going to equip myself and start snowboarding again, its been a few years since the last time I went.
