One of the things I love about teaching at Wartburg is watching (or at least hearing about) my student engineers excel at their various other vocations.

For example, in reviewing athletic summary articles this morning I saw discussion of outstanding contributions by:
Jace Moore (F'21) - Football - quarterback
Trent Roling (M'22) - Football - interception for a TD
Joe Pins (M'23) - Wresting - major decision
Marshun Williams (M'24) - Basketball - leading scorer with 19 pts

And I'm sure I'm missing some.

I got to spend the morning with some amazing (hopefully) future Wartburg Engineers. We designed a mechanism to shift gears and/or turn on blinkers if you were driving with only one arm. We also had 2 very different approaches to putting toothpaste on your tooth brush if you had only one arm. Small but mighty group - I hope to get to work with you again soon.

Engineers working in industry - could you spare a minute to fill out the following survey for one of our 1st year groups. They are investigating the Engineering Grand Challenge of Enhancing Virtual Reality and are wondering how you have seen VR in your industry.

Much thanks from both Dr. LeAnn and the students.

And our semester is off to a solid start. First years have selected groups and met the book support challenge - some better than others - I love the diversity of ideas. Can’t wait to see what these Engineers accomplish.

Usually at the beginning of April I get to boast a little about our students and the amazing design projects they present at RICE day. This year, RICE day couldn't happen so instead I would like to invite any and all of you to listen in to their final presentations Friday 4/17 from 10:30-12:30 via zoom.
https://wartburg.zoom.us/j/94006418085

ES350 students are juniors who learn about the design process over the course of a semester by designing a device that would improve life and the economy in a developing country.
ES360/460 students are seniors who implement a year long design project with a community partner that (usually) results in a delivered device that addresses an identified need.

Each winter semester ES 152 students (mostly freshmen Engineering majors) learn to use CREO Parametric - they show off their new skills by recreating an object of their choice using the CAD software. This year's mid semester exodus of campus added a special twist since about half the class lost access to CREO and had to learn a new software in order to complete their projects. Our Engineering class of 2023 were up to the challenge and this afternoon presented their CAD replicas via Zoom. As always, I am amazed that these students knew next to nothing about CAD 15 weeks ago and created these amazingly accurate models.

Also, congratulations to Cael Boehmer whose flashlight model was selected as Most Impressive by his classmates.
