I will specifically be working with artificial intelligence and missile defense in the Geotechnical and Structural Laboratory. I am working in one of seven labs in the United States to perform research and prototyping for the army. I am now a Research Mechanical Engineer at the Engineering Research and Development Center, a division of the U.S. I recently completed a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics at Mississippi State University. Walking into my college classrooms with thorough knowledge of calculus-based physics, computer programming, and computer modeling was invaluable to me, and I carry these skills into the workplace as well. I was able to apply the skills I learned in high school every single semester in college, and I was able to help teach others who did not have the opportunity to gain engineering knowledge prior to college. This fall I'm excited to be attending the Kellogg School of Management as I pursue my MBA.īecause of the engineering knowledge and concepts I gained through Catapult, I did not learn any new engineering concepts until I was a second semester sophomore. I've spent the last 2.5 years working for Frito-Lay as a Manufacturing Manager leading cross functional teams of 30-120+ in the production of billion dollar brands like Lays, Cheetos, Doritos, etc. I was a Trumpet Section Leader in the AU Marching Band, interned at Southern Company, Co-oped at Georgia Pacific, and worked in an undergraduate research lab (and yes, I still managed to have a life). Being well-prepared coming out of high school enabled me to make the most of opportunities available while at Auburn.
#PARTS OF A CATAPULT PROFESSIONAL#
This program is a great way to get early experience with STEM topics and will certainly accelerate the academic and professional career of its participants. Having worked with public, private, and home school students through this program, I can unequivocally say that Catapult and its TA’s prioritize the success of each student and are able deliver the content, answer questions, and provide feedback that allow all students to grow. After taking the Catapult Engineering Academy courses in high school, I served as a Catapult Teaching Assistant (TA) while attending Auburn University where I majored in Mechanical Engineering and minored in Business.
