Emma Krilowicz grew up with not only a passion for drawing, but also an equal appreciation for science and math. She figured engineering would be path to pursue in college to combine these interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the Plano native\u2019s father was exploring the Texas A&M University website one day and stumbled upon a different idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2018There\u2019s a really cool major called visualization,\u2019\u201d she recalled him saying. \u201c\u2018It\u2019s art but it also has to do with computer science and requires you to use math and science. I think you would love to keep doing all of that for a career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With her interest piqued, Krilowicz came to campus for a tour during her sophomore year of high school. Guided by Barbara Klein, instructional associate professor, she was able to talk to students and see classes in action. She enjoyed it so much she visited twice more before graduating and enrolling at Texas A&M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
