Connor Shane '05 (Aeronautical Engineering)

Walking onto the Pratt & Whitney plant floor and knowing very little about how a jet engine operates was a humbling experience for me. I spent most of my time with professional engineers working on heat transfer modeling of the fuel system for the F135 engine. Looking back on the experience gives me a great deal of pride. Working under project managers in a professional work environment taught me a great deal about myself and how much more there is to learn.
