Major: DIS and Mechanical Engineering

I am a Mechanical Engineering and Design Innovation and Society dual major and I am a thrower on the RPI track team. I wanted to have a more hands-on curriculum and get to have a higher focus on the creative side of engineering. DIS is allowing me to create my own prototypes and products, and I get to dive into the societal impact of engineering decisions. After I graduate, I hope to get a job working as a product development engineer creating concept designs and prototypes.

Favorite Class: I really loved design studio II! I got the opportunity to work with a local antique shop owner and create a product that both fulfilled a need for her business, but also matched her shop’s aesthetic. It is very hands-on and project based which I really enjoyed.

Internships/Work Experience: Plumbing engineer internship
