First Day of School Instagram Takeover

Yesterday was the first day of the new school year. Bioengineering junior Julie Yip took over the Jacobs School of Engineering Instagram. Check out her day going around campus to classes, browsing Library Walk, and meeting with her friends!

My name is Julie and I'm a third year Bioengineering: Biotechnology major here at the #jacobsschoolofengineering. I'm taking over Instagram (again) for this first day of classes. Best of luck to my fellow Tritons! ❤️ #instagramtakeover #firstdayofschool

Caught a few of my favorite people on Library Walk today! The Biomedical Engineering Society has been a family to me ever since I joined as a freshman. They are an amazing group of driven individuals who can always make you laugh 💞 #bmesucsd #instagramtakeover #firstdayofschool

Met these lovely girls from @phisigmarhoatucsd today. If you're an engineering or science major and thinking if going Greek, this sorority may be a perfect fit! #instagramtakeover #firstdayofschool

Engineering Student Orgs Table at Annual Engineers on the Green

This past Monday, the Triton Engineering Student Council hosted their annual "Engineers on the Green" event, with over 1,400 students in attendance. 

The engineering student organizations at UC San Diego gathered at Matthews Quad to show off some of their work and welcome new members. From project teams to mentorship programs, industry panels to outreach events, and resume workshops to ice skating nights, all of these organizations offer an endless amount of opportunities and ways to have fun. Here's a recap from Instagram:

This Jacobs School alumna is featured in Elle

Brina Lee was Instagrams's first female engineer but in this Elle interview, she confesses that she likes her pictures without a filter. The Jacobs School alum talks about why she likes coding, what engineering is and the gender gap at tech companies.  (Lee earned a bachelor's in communications and a master's in computer science from UC San Diego).

Sample quotes:

Engineering can be a bunch of things. In all cases, engineering is building things, whether it be with your hands like a mechanical engineer, or with code. To me it’s a creative tool to build communication in many different ways. And solving problems.

 A lot of people think that coding is boring, but you have to understand the impact that you’re having by submitting one or two lines of code. Just submitting one extra line of code into the Facebook repository impacts a billion people. Same thing with Instagram!

Oh, and Lee's favorite Instagram filter for video is Vesper.
