"To me, engineering is the art of turning complex, theoretical concepts into reliable, real-world solutions. It’s about using technology as a precise tool to solve human problems." - Dristanta Silwal, Engineering Class of 2026

After graduation, Dristanta plans to pursue a PhD and continue growing his work in technology and AI-driven solutions.

At U of I, Dristanta gained hands-on experience through undergraduate research, working on his project, "Benchmarking Uncertainty Quantification for Deep Learning." Using the Falcon, now Lemhi, supercomputer through SLURM, he developed modular, configuration-driven experiments while gaining experience in high-performance computing and reproducible research. He also presented his work at the Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research, translating complex research into a story others could engage with.

Through his role as a Technology Solutions Partner with the Office of Information Technology, Dristanta also gained experience with enterprise technology tools while providing IT support to faculty and staff across Idaho.

Scholarships played a key role in Dristanta's U of I experience. The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship provided a $6,500 grant that allowed him to dedicate his time to research and mentorship. Additional scholarships and tuition support helped make his education accessible while allowing him to balance academics, research and leadership opportunities.

Congrats, Dristanta!

Vandals helps Idaho communities identify wildfire risk.

This summer, Computer Science Engineering student Alija Acharya worked with Dr. Terrence Soule to develop machine learning models that predict wildfire risk across Idaho counties using winter and spring weather data.

Wildfires are personal to Alija, who has watched over her family’s farm during wildfire season. Her goal is to give farmers, residents and first responders an early indication of wildfire risk so they can better prepare for the season. Her work involves writing Python code, cleaning data, training machine learning models and testing results. Along the way, Alija has also learned how to communicate technical concepts and machine learning results to people without a technical background.

This hands-on research experience was made possible through our college's Professional Skills Academy, which provides funding for students to pursue their passions and customize their academic experience through experiential learning, professional certification and more.

For Alija, the experience has allowed her to apply her computer science skills to an issue that matters personally to her while gaining valuable experience beyond the classroom.

"To me, engineering means seeing a way to innovate, create or adapt technical and complex ideas, and having the knowledge and skills to make those ideas a reality." -Brenden, Cybersecurity Class of 2026

Brenden is the first Cybersecurity graduate from U of I's Coeur d'Alene campus. He is graduating with a degree in Cybersecurity, along with minors in Mathematics and Computer Science.

After graduation, Brenden has accepted a position as a Compliance Analyst with Secure Cloud Innovations.

At U of I, Brenden gained hands-on experience through labs in his mid-level courses, where he was able to apply his technical knowledge and experience what cybersecurity professionals do in the field.

Brenden said scholarships played an important role throughout his college experience, especially during his freshman year. The support helped ease the financial pressure of tuition and made it possible for him to continue his education.

Congrats, Brenden!

This summer, biological engineering student Ronnie Davis took her engineering skills beyond the classroom in research funded through our college's Professional Skills Academy.

The Professional Skills Academy provides funding for students to pursue their passions and customize their academic experience through experiential learning, professional certification and more!

Ronnie’s interest in biological engineering began in Engineering 1230, a course designed to help students discover career pathways within their degrees. After taking a lab tour, she became interested in the research being done and saw the Professional Skills Academy as an opportunity to jumpstart her career, go beyond her core classes and make the most out of her summer.

Through the program, Ronnie is gaining hands-on experience in Associate Professor Nate Schiele's Tendon Tissue Engineering Lab focused on tendon research. Her project explores the early development of tendon cells and examines how Forskolin, a plant-derived compound, may impact tendon cell development.

For Ronnie, the Professional Skills Academy has provided an opportunity to explore her field firsthand, develop practical skills and gain valuable experience working in a lab.

"To me, engineering means using critical thinking skills and your arsenal of knowledge and creativity to design solutions for people." -Carla, Engineering Class of 2026

Carla has accepted a full-time position as a Patent Engineer with Holland & Hart in Boise after graduation.

At U of I, Carla gained valuable professional experience through her internship with Holland & Hart in Colorado. The experience gave her insight into how new inventions are brought to market and how engineering works alongside other fields.

Carla said receiving the National Merit Scholarship made it possible for her to attend U of I and pursue a four-year degree. The scholarship also gave her the opportunity to study abroad in England, an experience she describes as some of the best months of her life.

Congrats, Carla!
