Chassis Plans Leadership in Engineering Scholarship Finalist

Nick Aerni

Here’s the work of another outstanding student who responded to the Leadership in Engineering Scholarship opportunity.

 

Nick Aerni is a Senior studying electrical and computer engineering at the University of Kentucky. An enthusiast for renewable energy development, Nick has participated in four education abroad programs with a renewable energy focus, and will be completing a seventh internship/co-op experience this Fall to become best prepared for a career within the power industry.

 

A native of Kentucky, Nick is working on developing a global understanding of energy and sustainability, and has actively pursued a diverse educational and professional track to reflect the diverse portfolio necessary to correct a deficiency in safe, clean, and reliable power worldwide.

 

Away from school and work Nick has taken large interests in travel and consumer electronics. Primarily, however, he uses his free time for running and playing basketball or soccer whenever possible. He enjoys being an avid sports fan in Cincinnati and at the University of Kentucky.

 

Going forward, Nick intends to complete Masters degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration to develop further technically and prepare for engineering management opportunities.

Chassis Plans 2014 Leadership in Engineering Scholarship Winner – Julia Soderstjerna

We are pleased to announce the award of the 2014 Leadership in Engineering Scholarship today to Julia Soderstjerna.

 

Julia’s winning essay is available here.

 

Julia is a Sophomore at UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. She is an active participant in UCSD’s Engineers for Exploration, and this year she participated in two student-led engineering projects. She worked on the prototyping, mechanical design, 3-D modeling, assembly and deployment of the Tiger Tracker and Intelligent Camera Trap projects. The Tiger Tracker project is currently being utilized to assist in wildlife research at the San Diego Zoo, and the Intelligent Camera Trap is being deployed at the San Dieguito River Valley Preserve.

 

Julia has always been interested in technology, and her decision to study Mechanical Engineering was sparked by joining the FTC Robotics team at Mt. Carmel High School. As the team’s Lead Programmer, she programmed all of the autonomous code for the competition robots. She also participated in the design and troubleshooting of the robots.

 

Currently, Julia is an undergraduate intern at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Ocean Physics Group, where she is working on creating a microconductivity sensor for deployment in future research trips. After graduation, Julia hopes to obtain her master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, and then to pursue a career in the field.

 

In her free time, Julia enjoys creating 3-D computer animation. One of her animated short films was awarded “Best Animation” at the All-American High School Film Festival in New York City.
