My name is Dominic Estrada, and I recently completed my bachelor's in civil engineering in May 2025. In my undergraduate experience, I have participated in construction research under one my professors to look more into trends in LEED certified buildings. Additionally, I am one of the structural leads for my school's Timber Strong Design Build competition. Before all this, I have also had the opportunity to participate in NASA's Community College of Aerospace Scholars program, where I was able to partake in all three mission programs. Currently, I am looking for an opportunity in the Civil Engineering industry to where I will be able to apply my skills/experiences from undergrad.
