aka my new dorm’s race kart. Their team hasn’t run in a couple years so I think I’m going to revive the team and run their kart along side with the team I ran and drove for last year. Provided I can get the engine running of course! But with all the experience I got last year, what could possibly go wrong (Clarkson glare)?

This looks like a brand new engine (identical to the one I ran last year) but it has been sitting with no spark plug in a damp basement so Im a bit worried about that.

Which dorm?

Are you at the stage where you will be looking for coops? My company will be at the career fair but I won’t be, at least not as of now. I’m slated to go to other schools.

I was part of the Owen hall team my freshman year. We were not great...

I ran the Harrison Hall kart last year and am going to run both the Harrison and Hillenbrand kart this year (I’m now an RA in Hillenbrand but am too attached to my first team).

I am a sophomore this year so it is either this year or next that I am eligible to work with your company. I am finally at the stage of figuring out the co-op situation... but I’m not sure if your company would be interested in a Materials Engineer... Aww, that’s a shame I was looking forward to it.

We do have a team that does materials and process stuff. Our power plant engineers also do a lot of materials and are working on additive manufacturing.

Beyond that, there is a lot of latitude on what you do as a coop. Getting good experience is the key.

Sad, but not too much of a surprise.

It’s okay, I’ve kind of made a habit of resurrecting stalled out dorm teams. Maybe next year I revive Owen’s haha.
