Ethan is a senior mechanical engineer from Baltimore, Maryland. He enjoys manufacturing, design and reverse engineering problems. He picked Lafayette because of their engineering program and familiar history with the school. He hopes to put his skills to good use and to aid in the project and trails to come.
Mechanical Engineering interests Connor because it interfaces between electronics and mechanical systems. It is fascinating to him what society has built and what we can do to further humanity's progress. Without mechanical engineers, nothing would function as it should and we would be in a dark age. The intersection between electronics and mechanical systems provides humans with a way to control what is around us and create things people 20 years would have believed to be impossible. He loves pretty much everything about mechanical engineering; coding, CAD, electronics, and mechanical systems just to name a few. In a specific order, his favorites would be mechanical systems, CAD, electronics, and coding are my top 4 aspects of engineering.
