I graduated from Texas Tech University (May 2020) with an Engineering degree and Kilgore College's Math and Physics program helped me lay a strong foundation before transferring to Tech. I want to specially thank Dr. Kirchhoff for everything that he did for his students. He is an awesome professor that cares about his students and willingly guides them to be successful. Kilgore College's Math and Physics program is a great place for anyone who wants to pursue their engineering career!
