Andi says she's always had a love for Purdue and building, so to come to learn construction engineering at Purdue was a dream come true for her.

Why I chose Purdue Civil and Construction Engineering

I always knew I wanted to come to Purdue University. My family and I would come to campus often for games and I always loved my time here. I also really like building things — especially with LEGOs. And when I learned about the construction program, I quickly realized this was the perfect place for me.

Emphasis area

I am in the construction engineering program. I love the collaboration and teamwork that comes with it, and I want to be part of largescale projects. It just felt like a community I really wanted to be a part of.

School ambassador

I am involved in a number of student organizations — and I love them all — but I would say the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering ambassador program is my favorite. I just really love meeting with prospective students and sharing with them why I feel Purdue is so special.

After I graduate

After I earn my bachelor’s degree in May, I will be joining Bowen Engineering in Indianapolis. I am very excited to start my career there and am very interested in being part of their concrete work in the future.

Andi says what she loves most about studying construction engineering at Purdue is the strong sense of community and collaboration.
