From "Bad at Math" to Engineer

from The TecoGuide Podcast · host TecoGuide by Inspirame

Statistics show that 80% of students entering community college intending to transfer do not make it through the pipeline. For first-generation and Latino students in STEM, the obstacles are even higher. In our latest episode of the TecoGuide podcast, we speak with Joseph Muniz, a senior Electrical Engineering student at Sacramento State. Joseph’s journey is a blueprint for student success: - Overcoming the "remedial math" hurdle through institutional support (MESA/Tutoring centers). - The critical role of proactive academic counseling. - The professional ROI of student-led organizations like SHPE. For educators and institutional partners, Joseph’s story reinforces that the talent is there—the support systems just need to be accessible. #TecoGuide, the only app designed to help you navigate your college and career journey in the quickest and most affordable way.
