Hi my name is Callen Shouse. I served 4 years as an active duty Marine and upon being honorably discharged I wanted to become an engineer. I enjoy spending the majority of my time learning or teaching myself new things. I also think SMU is the best school in Texas and always love telling new people I meet how amazing our school is.

Describe your college experience

My college experience has been great so far. Earning a degree in Electrical engineering has been the most difficult goal I've labored for, and in that, the difficulty has been like a crucible. Being an engineering student doesn't afford you the time to go and do a lot of the on campus activities but it makes you stronger, smarter, and overall more resilient.

Tip for future students

Enjoy the little moments the semester will offer you but don't get sidetracked from your purpose of being here: to earn a degree, rather, to learn.

Favorite class

My favourite class thus far has been Circuits 1 because I was able to get hands on experience on analyzing, designing and building circuits.

Career goals

God willing, I would like to work within the biomedical field as an electrical engineer working on robotic prosthetics.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Grabbing a good book, a blanket and something warm to drink (or eat).
