Homeland Security was a class in my major that I found to be extremely interesting. For our final project, we had to give a security assessment of the William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I enjoyed this process because it gave me hands-on experience in assessing a critical target.
In this project, I was responsible for assessing what the building was in proximity to. It is close to many high-level targets and is easily accessible. Often times, chemicals are left in the hallways and labs are left unlocked, which are just two examples of how the building is not secure.
