Engineering Experimenting TechnologyStudent Success Stories
Delta College opened doors I didn’t even know existed. I went from being a first-gen student figuring things out to landing internships at NASA and SpaceX. The support I found at Delta changed my path completely.

Delta’s Engineering Technologies program had a direct connection with Lawrence Livermore National Lab. That’s how I met the recruiters who helped me land an internship. Now I’m starting full-time as a Mechanical Engineer, and none of it would’ve been possible without the strong foundation and support I received while attending Delta.
