Introdiction

Hello everybody,

      My name is Durval Marques de Queiroz Neto. I was born and raised in Brazil, back there I study Mechanical Engineering at UNIFEI (Federal University of Itajuba). I started my college in 2012 and I expect to finish it within 2 years. In 2013 I heard about a scholarship called Sciences Without Borders, this scholarship, sponsored by the Brazilian Government is responsible for sending Brazilian students to colleges all over the world. In 2014 I applied to a scholarship here in the US and I got approved.
      Here in the US I studied at Florida State University for two terms, Fall 2015 and Spring 2016, there I improved my English and learned more about how engineering is taught in different countries.I had an amazing time there.
     Now I moved to San Jose to work as a research assistant on the Spartan Superway Project. I got in San Jose last Sunday and so far I had an amazing experience. My first meeting with the team was yesterday (5/23) and there I learned more about the project and about what I will do during the summer.
     I joined the Solar Energy System team, even though I haven't had much experience within this field I expect to learn more and become more familiarized with it. I know that working on project like this is not easy but I will do my best to achieve my goals.
