Engineering is about creativity, problem-solving and making a difference, and College Quest gives high school students an early glimpse into that world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>College Quest participants will hear from UTC faculty and students about academic programs, tour campus labs and explore resources designed for student success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn pre-health, students want to understand not just the \u2018what,\u2019 but the \u2018why.\u2019 They want to know, for example, what chemistry has to do with preparing for a career in pharmacy school,\u201d Bruce said. \u201cThrough College Quest, we connect those dots. High school students can stand inside a UTC lab, meet the faculty who will teach them and see the relevance of what they\u2019re learning. It\u2019s a powerful way to show how UTC supports their journey into medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy or other health professions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of College Quest include chemistry and biology demonstrations, clinical presentations with medical assistants, hands-on physical therapy and occupational therapy activities, engineering lab tours, and experiences with robotics, automation and computer programming.<\/p>\n<p>A student panel, featuring pre-health alums Shelby Alford and Lukas Wise and engineering students Bentley Adkins and Tooba Tanveer, will share how UTC prepared them for advanced study and their careers.<\/p>\n<p>Adkins, a senior computer science major from Rossville, Georgia, is a research assistant with UTC\u2019s Center for Urban Informatics and Progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollaborating with classmates in study rooms, working through difficult coursework together and building relationships with lab partners created a sense of community and mutual support,\u201d Adkins said. \u201cThose connections not only help you get through tough classes\u2014they might even turn into valuable professional relationships later on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alford, a first-year UTC physical therapy student from Clarksville, Tennessee, earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in exercise and health sciences in May.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChoosing UTC was a great decision because not only was I shown the world of physical therapy, but I was also provided with countless opportunities to expand my resume and gain more knowledge,\u201d Alford said. \u201cI was led to many shadowing opportunities, helpful resources, clubs\/extracurricular involvements and a community of others on the same path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tanveer is a senior double-majoring in mechanical engineering and electrical engineering and a member of the Innovations in Honors program in the UTC Honors College. Earlier this year, she presented her research on biomedical implants at Posters at the Capitol in Nashville\u2014and is a co-author of the paper written on this topic for the upcoming International Mechanical Engineering Congress &amp; Exposition in Memphis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough professional development programs like the CECS Mentorship Program and opportunities like building a high-powered rocket for NASA\u2019s Student Launch Initiative, UTC gave me the space to pursue my aerospace dreams in ways I never imagined,\u201d Tanveer said.<\/p>\n<p>Wise, a third-year medical student at the UT Health Science Center College of Medicine-Chattanooga, graduated from UTC in 2023 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in chemistry: biochemistry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved every minute I spent at UTC, and I truly believe that I am where I am today because of the opportunities I was granted there,\u201d Wise said. \u201cThe people, the place and the culture at UTC made for an experience that was more meaningful than I could have possibly imagined\u2014and ultimately played a substantial role in getting me to my goal of becoming a medical student.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Learn more<\/h4>\n<p><a
