About Me

I am from Stafford, Virginia and I am very excited to be at Duke. I hope to major in either biomedical engineering or electrical/computer engineering.

Name Pronunciation

Rachel Van Fleet is pretty simple, but it is pronounced like "RAY chul VAN FLEET" (I don't think there is a way to further break down my last name).

Interests

I played volleyball for my high school, but now I work to keep statistics for the games here at Duke. I've recently picked up rowing, so I'm excited to get further involved with that. I love to cook (solely because I love to eat), and I dabble a bit in baking as well.

Grand Challenges for Engineering

The Grand Challenges for Engineering were created by the National Academy of Engineering, and serve to explain issues in the field of engineering in the near future. I think the most interesting Grand Challenge is Secure Cyberspace [1], National Academy of Engineering, created 2012, accessed 15 September 2013 (General)
