Federal grant helps UA grad jumpstart engineering career

A recent University of Arizona grad is well on her way to a successful engineering career, in part thanks to a federal grant helping high tech workers in Southern Arizona. Twenty-three-year-old Yazmin Farias graduated from the UA in May 2012 with an engineering degree. During her senior year, she began interning at a company that makes airline equipment called Universal Avionics. Today, she works there as a Manufacturing Continuous Improvement Project Engineer.
