Hi, my name is Stephanie Chiesi and I am a Chief Systems Engineer at SAIC.

What excites me the most about engineering is going into the unknown, trying to figure out what the problems are that we see in the fields that we support today and finding solutions that can really help people, help our government, help our different customers so that we can achieve more and do better and do more together.

I think it’s the always not knowing what that solution could be and what else we could discover that always keeps me passionate and engaged as well as knowing that when we’re trying to solve one problem, we could be solving many more than just that, looking at the different ways that the same solution can be applied to more than one problem.

That’s what keeps me excited and engaged in engineering.

We asked Stephanie: Q What excites you about Engineering?
