The beginning

SJSU International Housing

I just arrived in the SJSU International House, where I will live the next 2 months. Tomorrow I will start my summer internship on the Spartan Superway Project, where I really hope to learn a lot and use this experience when I go back home.

            My name is Eduardo Alpes and I am a junior undergraduate student of Civil Engineering at Federal University of Goias in Brazil. I spent the last fall and spring semesters studying at Florida A&M University (FAMU-FSU College of Engineering), as a grantee of the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (BSMP), which is a non-degree scholarship program fully sponsored by the government of Brazil in partnership with the Institute of International Education (IIE).

            Now, I am moving to the San Jose State University for the summer to join the Spartan Superway Project, trying to be helpful and being able to get knowledge and experience from this. I am really excited with this opportunity and hope to have a great summer here.
