impact on the world around me. It will
empower me to empower others. "
About the impact SAE has had on him
overall, he said:
" Through my time in college, SAE hasn't just
been an organization that sets standards or
sponsors publications. To me, they've been the
teammates and support that have allowed me
to participate in all types of activities that have
positively impacted my education and my
future. SAE has educated me through their
industrial lecturer series and through their video
presentations. They have offered me the chance
to create relationships with a mentor, through
their discussion boards, and through connection
with our local professional section. And the
opportunities haven't stopped there: I've
written an article for MOMENTUM, offered my
support and experiences through the " Meet the
Engineer " and " Member Testimonial " video
series, and been able to create a club that has
truly allowed its members to develop both
academically and professionally.
" But perhaps the most changing experience
has been the opportunity to design and work
on Bradley's Formula, Baja, and Supermileage
vehicles. Leading an academic and professional
club is one thing, but conceptualizing and
creating a competition vehicle is something
entirely different. I'm extremely grateful for
Bradley's Eco-Marathon/SAE Supermileage vehicle ('18-present).
Liam Hughes and Holly Olson for their support through all the late nights and
tough times.
" SAE has truly made an impact on me during my time at Bradley and I
look forward to being able to continue my work with them as I progress
through school and into my career. Engineering in the real world is so much
more than just equations and textbook knowledge, and that's where SAE
bridges the gap. I would genuinely not be the student I am today or the
engineer I have the opportunity to become without the impact of SAE. n
