This week students in ENGS 331L: Dynamic Systems lab were working on modeling the dynamics of a spring-mass system traveling through water. Each team of students has to determine how to quantify certain properties of the system, model the behavior using MATLAB/Simulink, and take experimental data to validate the model.

Our last engineering award is our Senior Engineering Prize given to Jordan Dalton and Joey Fogt. While at Hope, Jordan has been very involved with the department through running help sessions and tutoring and completing the German Engineering Program. She is majoring in Mechanical Engineering and has majors in mathematics and studio art. After graduation Jordan will be attending Georgia Tech to obtain a masters degree in mechanical engineering. While at Hope, Joey has been the co-Captain of the Hope College Formula Racing team, participated in research with the Physics department, and completed the German Engineering Program. He is majoring in Electrical Engineering and Physics and has a minor in German. After graduation Joey will be getting married (congrats!) and starting as a Controls Engineer at Apex Controls. Congrats to both Jordan and Joey!
