What did you like most about your MSOE experience?
Great interactions between students and professors.
Beyond academics, what have you learned at MSOE?
Working in groups has many great benefits.
What's your favorite memory at MSOE?
Seeing my hard work pay off at the annual MSOE TrainTime show.
What have the scholarships done for you?
Scholarships made coming to MSOE a possibility. Attending MSOE wouldn't have been possible without them.
Why did you choose MSOE? Are you happy with your decision?
I choose MSOE's Architectural Engineering program because I have always dreamed about being an architect but I cared more about how a building functioned than how it looks. MSOE offered a small campus with small class sizes and allowed me to start taking courses in my field during the first quarter. I have definitely enjoyed my experience at MSOE and am glad to be part of the MSOE community.
What were you involved in at school?
Society of Model Engineers (Model Railroading) and the Architectural Engineering Institute.
What have you been doing since graduation?
I work as a fire protection designer with Grunau Co. Inc. I first learned about Grunau at an onsite interview session that was sponsored by MSOE's Career Placement Office. I may have never learned what Grunau had to offer if it hadn't been for the Placement Office.
Given your experience in the workplace, what advice do you have for students?
I would suggest that students become well rounded. Many students think a high G.P.A. is the key to getting hired, but extra curricular activities and what you do with your time outside of school also play a big part. Become well rounded so you have more to offer perspective employers.
What were you involved in outside of school?
Men's bowling and large scale Lego model building.
