Student Spotlight: I joined ACE my sophomore year of high school, and it set me on the path to civil engineering. ACE gave me teamwork, networking, and leadership skills that I still use every day in college and internships. Now, as a civil engineering student at the University of Central Florida interning with Michael Baker International, I can see how much ACE prepared me to succeed and connect with professionals in the industry. The mentorship and real-world experience gave me the confidence to pursue my career goals.
