PES Scholar Profile – Lianna de la Salle – University of Ottawa

I chose engineering because I love to find out how things work. I chose electrical engineering in particular due to its relevance in our modern life. My favorite classes have been power classes and so I’ve started to consider a career in this field. I love power engineering because of the impact it has on our society. It’s an extremely important field, and always will be. I look forward to working in this field and facing the challenges of our evolving electricity grid.
