Carrying hard things together, one day at a time.

As the semester kicks into gear, Kirby Heybourne encourages us to look around for opportunities to support others as they take on their own “hives of bees.”

Rachel Lattin, a Construction Management major from Logan, Utah, has been looking forward to attending BYU since she was little, eating ice cream at the creamery.

Through challenges of adjusting to college life and picking her major, she has found joy in the growth she’s experienced as she prepares to design buildings after graduation.

“From my time at BYU, I recognize that God is in everything,” Rachel says. “He’s in the science. He’s in the art. He’s everywhere. I think that in being a reflection of that light, you approach your professional life differently.”

Have you ever felt like you just keep getting stung, no matter what you do?

When it is hard to keep trying, Kirby Heybourne reminds us that showing up in faith, we can get through anything.

Watch the full lecture where Kirby shares the story of a hike, bee stings, some questionable glasses, and the power of perseverance and service at the link in our bio.

We all need a friend like Justin!

Kirby Heybourne helped kickstart the semester with a lecture to our newest students. He shared an experience that taught him a valuable lesson about friendship and service. Follow along to see how a hike, a bee attack, and a pair of “indestructible” glasses can apply to your engineering education.

Now that the semester is underway, let’s hear a bit more advice/encouragement from Jack, a current mechanical engineering student!

“Incoming freshman! Don’t get discouraged! In your first few semesters as an engineering student, you will undoubtedly have a bad test or a rough class and in that moment, it’s very easy to tell yourself or justify that you can’t be an engineer. Don’t fall for it!

I am a firm believer that anyone can be an engineer! If you choose to stick with it, you will meet lifelong friends, fantastic professors and mentors, and you could even build a race car (join BYU Racing!). Welcome to BYU!”

“As soon as I stopped saying it wasn’t possible and believed it was, I did it.”

How have you seen this to be true in your life and career?

Ignition! BYU Rocketry’s Propulsion Research Team recently achieved over 500 pounds of sustained thrust on their Block 2 Hybrid Rocket engine.

A huge milestone, this engine is now undergoing verification to power BYU’s student-built hybrid rocket, Genesis.

If you are interested in BYU Rocketry, join their slack at the link in our bio.

During the fall semester, new members will have a chance to build their own rocket under the guidance of senior members in the Student Launch Competition. Those interested can also join their advanced launch competition, high power competition, and research teams.

🎉 Happy first day of school!

Let’s hear from a current BYU Engineering student! Whether it’s your first day of college or your last first day of college, we can all use a little advice.

“I’m Taylor Syme, studying Engineering here at BYU! Here are a few things I wish I knew before diving into engineering and some advice for incoming students:

- have fun with your engineering skills and build things outside of class! I’ve made a ultralight aircraft, engines, and electrical circus, and much more just for fun, and you can too!

-don’t compare yourself to others! Go at your own pace!”

Check our stories for more advice from Taylor!

Welcome (back) to the College of Engineering — we’re glad you’re here! 💙
