Introduction

Hi, I’m Rebecca. I am currently finishing up my dual-degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Anthropology at SJSU. My two main focuses are in design and culture, because both compliment each other. Participating in the Spartan Superway project, I felt that it could encompass both areas of my studies. My engineering knowledge will help me analyze, calculate, and improve functions of the Superway. Implementing anthropological techniques, I will be able to find and integrate the needs of the people (culture) whom will be using the Superway one day. Getting involved with the Superway also interested me because I have been using public transportation for over 21 years, finding a way to improve this system would benefit society and the environment.
