“To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” Henri Bergson


About Me

Courtney Brown
Third year full time student at Humboldt State University majoring in Environmental Resource Engineering and minoring in Woman Studies.

Interests in Engineering

  • Energy resources which allows the experience of creating efficient and sustainable forms of storing and transferring energy.
  • Sustainable Activism: Divesting California’s institutions from fossil fuel.
  • Working with underrepresented students who are interested in STEM and granting them resources that will allow them to succeed in their college and professional lives.

Experience in Engineering

  • Summer (’13) internship with National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) in their Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) as a mentor for underrepresented students (3rd-8th grade) in getting them involved with Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). With classroom management this program involved age-appropriate curriculum that engaged students in interactive exercises for the course of three weeks.
  • Humboldt State University’s first council representative for California Student Sustainability Coalition whose mission is to unite and empower California’s higher education that will allow collaboration in a nonviolent transformation of ourselves and to our institutions.
  • Group Affiliation at Humboldt State University: Society of Women Engineers (SWE), HSU Student Sustainability Coalition (HSUSSC), Indian Natural Resources, Science and Engineering Program (INRSEP) center for academic excellence in STEM.

Portfolio

  • For Engineering 215, my team, Hooked on 'Ponics, designed an aquaponic system for the WetLand Project. This is the document we created: Final Doc
  • This is a Persian Gulf Imports spreedsheet that I made in Engineering 215.
  • This is a sample of an AutoCad drawing for an Engineering 215 assignment.
  • This Gantt Chart shows a sample of project-planning software.
  • This is a Memo for a sustainable speakers event given by Derek Jensen.
