A systems engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Rebekah Sosland Siegfriedt tells us what it’s like working on the Mars Perseverance rover and how her education at UT Austin helped her prepare for this important mission.

Computational Engineering Student Helps Build App for UT Reopening

Computational engineering major Henry Rossiter spent the summer helping to develop the Protect Texas Together app that helps students, faculty and staff return to campus safely this fall. The app allows people to track their symptoms, record COVID-19 test results, get connected to medical resources and — potentially, in the future — even assist in contact tracing.
