JIMMY LEMechanical Engineering

LYAN ESPINOZAPhilosophy (Pre-Med)

Jimmy Le has always been interested in problem-solving. “I’ve had

a passion for mechanical engineering since I was a child,” he says.

“I always wanted to know how things worked and how I could

make them better.” When it was time to choose a university, UTA

was the obvious destination. “I chose UTA for their well-known

engineering department,” he says. “UTA’s fast-track program is

allowing me to get a head start on my master’s degree.”

Lyan Espinoza wants to be ready for anything the future

has in store for her—so she chose to pursue a degree

in philosophy at UTA. “Philosophy will show me how to

explore and work in the world with a different point of view,”

she says. “And UTA is very diverse, which helps students

embrace where they come from and where they are going.”

“THE PEOPLE AT UTA ARE SO HELPFUL THAT I AM ALWAYSON TRACK IN MY COURSES.”

“UTA IS MY DREAM SCHOOL.”
