About Ibrahim
I am an Egyptian American freshman student studying civil engineering at the George Washington University. I chose to study civil engineering because of my interest in physics, mathematics, architecture, and culture, which are all disciplines that cross paths in the civil engineering field. I took vigorous courses in physics, mathematics and engineering drawing in high school preparing for college. Demands for proper urban planning and energy are increasing rapidly, and I am looking to help solve global civil and sustainability issues. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing basketball, drawing, playing music, and acting.

First Semester Reflection:
I really enjoyed the SEAS 1001 class, and I believe that the Graduate Teacher Assistants did a great job introducing us to software and broad engineering concepts like entrepreneurship, diversity, and ethics. I especially liked the idea of a business model canvas. I like how the semester is divided into a broad engineering course first, and then a course specific to major. I believe it implies that although engineers in different sectors may deliver different products and solutions, they all have fundamental concepts that are in common.
