Florence Mazzetti (20) 3rd year student University College Roosevelt (UCR)
Why this study? I grew up in France, and when I was 15 my parents and I moved to England where I finished high-school. I was interested in both music and science, so I started looking for a university that combined both my interests. That is how I found UCR. I started studying music and physics, and then when the engineering department started I could also follow courses there! About halfway through my studies I decided to spend a semester abroad. I had the opportunity to take some acoustics courses in Chicago, which for me was perfect because they combine music, science, and engineering. I discovered that it is exactly what I want to do in the future. So now I have decided that when I graduate UCR I will continue my studies with a master in acoustical engineering, hopefully in Denmark.
What do you like about this study? It’s not just theory, it’s practice too. For example, in my structures & properties course, we recently tested the strength of different materials using a tensile testing machine. If you keep putting more and more pressure, or pulling harder on a material (like a cotton string), how long before it breaks? When you build things you need to know how much pressure they can handle, especially if you are designing new materials. But also if you want to compare which material is better suited for the product you are building.
What do you like about UCR? Middelburg is a small but fun city where you can find everything you need, and UCR is the same: small and fun. I made friends very quickly, and I really like that the students organize all the activities for ourselves. For example when I was part of the PUMA society board, I organized a sailing trip on the Veerse Meer, • • •
