Mechanical Engineering student Sayyada Harry came to engineering with a deep love for how things work.

At UNF, that passion grew into research, leadership and real-world experience. From mechanical engineering labs to biomedical research and a Mercedes-Benz internship, her story is a reminder that CCEC students do not have to choose just one path.

They can explore, build and grow into the future they imagine. ⚙️
