"I got really excited about the subject after taking the introductory courses. My instructors, Jeff McCauley and Janet Ash really inspired me. They have a lot of pride in what they do and are great role models to the students. They not only care about our academic growth, but also our personal growth. They have taught me how to be better organized and to work effectively individually as well as in teams. They have given me a great foundation that goes beyond engineering and I know that I will be just as competitive as students who started out in a top four-year university." 

Khoi plans to concentrate on structural engineering. His goal is to transfer to UC Berkley or UCLA this coming September.

Khoi maintains a 3.87 GPA. In addition to his studies, he is involved in student government and various activities on campus. He was the recipient of the Paul G. Dong scholarship for engineering students, and honored at the 13th Annual All_Washington Academic Team celebration this past March.
