As a high school senior, Kale Stephenson knew he wanted to go into engineering, but wasn’t sure of which engineering discipline to choose. Then he became involved in materials science engineering research with Professor David Bahr, and the rest, you could say is history.
As today’s engineering students enter the 21st century workforce, they’re going to need more skills than just being able to design widgets. Andy Whitaker, a senior in electrical engineering, will be able to speak Chinese.
Mary Capiral, a graduate student in environmental engineering, hopes someday that she can make a difference in the same way that she received support at WSU.
Alan Abdulkader knew at the tender age of 12 that there was only one career for him: to be an architect. Now in his fifth and final year of school, Abdulkader is looking to start this long-awaited career.
Megan Dahl came to WSU as an undergraduate and quickly became involved in research with Professors David Bahr and M.Grant Norton on characterizing the growth mechanisms of silicon granules and their use in solar panels. Not one to leave a project unfinished, Dahl decided to continue her schooling with a master’s degree to see the research through.
