"I worked with Mia for over 4 months on our undergraduate capstone design project. Not only was she the most technically sound engineering student I have ever worked with, but she was also a joy to be around every day. Her charisma, positive attitude, and work ethic were inspirations to the entire team, and I would love the opportunity to work with her again one day."

"I worked with Mia on our senior design project. The project was to build a fully autonomous directional drilling rig that could drill horizontally into a 2x2 ft block of sandstone. Mia and I served as the Mechanical Engineers in the group, and she was an absolute delight to work with. The first thing I have to praise about Mia is her work ethic. She was always the first to the meetings, would show up to everything and she’d always be available at all hours of the night. Along with that, Mia is one of the most technically inclined people that I’ve been able to work with. She spearheaded the engineering analysis and technical calculations for the mechanical portions of the project. This was also displayed in her quick ability to learn electrical and petroleum concepts throughout the project and apply the new knowledge to the final product. Finally, her detail with work is excellent. She was in charge of many aspects of the Solidworks design, and she did a phenomenal job of making sure that everything lined up per the design and that it would be able to practically work in the end. This allowed the team to go directly off the Solidworks drawings when building the final product, creating a smoother building process. All in all, I learned a lot by working with Mia, and she was a pleasure to work with on the senior design project."

"Mia is an individual with high drive and constant optimism. When we were working on a team project and encountered roadblocks she was able to face the situation with a positive attitude without losing sight of the end goal, driving positive energy to the team. She always finds a way to deal with challenges and in a result, completes her tasks with flying colors."

"I have had the pleasure of working alongside Mia Rismalia on an automated drilling project at Louisiana State University for a little over a year. During that time she continuously set the standards for her peers to emulate. I have had the opportunity to observe Ms. Rismalia's professional skills as well as interpersonal style. She is consistently pleasant and takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication. Her organizational skills and relentlessly positive attitude proved to her chain of command day in and day out that she will continue to become an excellent leader. Regardless of deadlines or other pressures Ms. Rismalia always displayed a "Can Do" spirit and motivation necessary to complete all tasking assigned to her on time or ahead of schedule. I am convinced she will have great success in her future endeavors."

"Mia has demonstrated excellent academic and leadership performance. She was the only female engineer in her class who consistently portrayed a strong passion figure. I'm impressed by her meticulousness, immaculate work result, and design skill. She spent one year overseas to pursue her degree in Mechanical Engineering. She can successfully overcome any struggle that she must face there, collaborated with students from different backgrounds, and received satisfying results. She has also exhibited excellence in her position as a team player in the Engineering Student Association with me. We volunteered to teach children of the local community, and I can tell that she is very passionate about improving education quality. Most importantly, she is a person who has shown high moral standards and supporting character. I remembered when she patiently assisted me to complete the Engineering Drawing courses, which I found very frustrating. She never hesitated when coming to helping others. I firmly believe that she will give her best effort in anything she set in mind."
