Ms. Suber received her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Temple University in 2017. She has passed the Fundamentals in Engineering Exam, the first of two examinations that engineers must pass in order to be licensed as a Professional Engineer in the United States. PE licensure is the engineering profession's highest standard of competence, a symbol of achievement and assurance of quality.
Less than 2 percent of Black freshmen in the United States enter college engineering programs. According to the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), 3,500 African-Americans earned engineering bachelor’s degrees in 2014.
