About Me
My name is Shanice McLean and I am from Los Angeles, California. Duke is a long way from home but i definitely could not imagine being anywhere else. I was comfortable trading my summer dresses and sandals for sweaters and boots. On another note, I am currently a trinity student but I am looking to transfer into Pratt. I want to be a civil/environmental engineer.
Name Pronunciation
My first name is not said how it is spelled. It is pronounced "shu-knee-s" and my last name is "Mc-Lean." My name is not that difficult to pronounce but I have gotten some interesting variations in pronunciation of my name.
Current Courses
This semester I have four typical courses for an engineer:
- EGR53L
- Math 32L
- Writing 20: Writing in an Advertised Age
- Physics 61L
