Colleen Chen

Georgia Institute of Technology, Class of 2018
From Hosuton, TX

I am a Senior at the Georgia Institute of Technology pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a concentration in polymer and fiber materials, and a minor in Industrial Design. I believe that my experiences within these two fields of study will excel me towards my ultimate career path of Product Development Engineering. I am interested in the development and manufacturing of high-performance materials with a focus on innovation and design. I seek to further my knowledge in the field of materials development, engineering, and design with opportunities in competitive consumer product and/or packaging industries. I will be graduating in May of 2018 and am willing to relocate within the US given the opportunity.
