Hey everyone! Just wanted some opinions on my chances for a Master's school. I will be going for the M.S. route, so I hope to be funded through a Research position.
Undergrad Institution: Local State SchoolMajor(s): Mechanical EngineeringGPA: 3.76 (3.86 Institutional, made some B's in High School Concurrent Credit courses.)Type of Student: Domestic White MaleGRE Revised General Test: N/A (Will take in Fall/Not take depending on requirements from schools)Program Applying: Aerospace Engineering MastersResearch Experience:
Sophomore Fall-Junior Spring: Selected as one of five universities to receive $20,000 from NASA to construct an experiment in sustainability onboard the International Space Station. Worked with Biology students to construct a payload that was able to handle the experiment and properly record data all while still following all requirements involved in hosting a project in microgravity.
Senior Fall-Senior Spring: Working on an honors thesis with the director of the Mechanical Engineering program to construct a modular, multi-degree of freedom system to test lateral vibrations through rapid prototyping. Using the Saturn V rocket vibration data as a baseline for the system.Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
Received $7,300 from my state's Space Grant program to fund an internship at NASA.
Winner of the school symposium's 2022 Dean’s Award for Undergraduate Poster Presentation.
