A BRIEF AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM ASIA DILLARD, RECENT SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
I chose to pursue engineering, particularly Materials Science and Engineering, because it allows me to ask the question “why?” I have an incurable need to understand the world around me and to question everything that I am exposed to. I also have a sense of accomplishment once I conceptually understand the answer to a question that I have set out to solve. The notion of improving the quality of life on this planet through discovery, design, development and deployment of advanced engineering materials motivates me. With such a vast community of culturally and intellectually diverse individuals, Michigan is always focused on providing a creative environment for students like me to reach their full potential.
Since coming to Michigan, I have made the decision to pursue graduate school in engineering. Outside of class, I have spent my time as an active member in the National Society of Black Engineers, undertaking research on composite materials and having an executive position for the coordination of an Alternative Spring Break to Chicago in 2018 in order to expose high school students both to engineering and to Michigan.
