Bruk Berhanu is a former MCSI intern and a former MCSI undergraduate summer researcher. He graduated from Pitt in 2013 with a BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
In his own words:
I am currently about to finish a doctoral program in Civil Engineering in August at the University of Texas at Austin. I also got my MS in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering and a Master of Public Affairs (MPAff) here.
I started with the Mascaro Center as an REU fellow in the summer of 2012, and that kickstarted my interest in water resources engineering research—so much so that I decided to go to graduate school for it.
I've also continued my sustainability education and outreach efforts with local youth that I started with MCSI in the Design Factory program at the Sarah Heinz House. My experiences with MCSI really shaped my whole perspective about my academic and professional future, for which I'm incredibly thankful!
