Welcome

Welcome to my corner of Blogger!

I am a mechanical engineering student specializing in energy engineering, currently halfway through my junior year of studies. Currently I am a full time student and part time researcher; my interests are fuel cells and advanced energy systems. I plan to write an undergraduate honors thesis based on researching these concepts and continue on to graduate school in Thermo-fluids based mechanical engineering. My goal with all my studies of engineering is to find ways to improve the quality of life for all people, regardless of their location or financial status.

After discussing engineers' relations with other fields with a couple colleagues of mine, I decided to begin this blog with the intention of explaining different engineering and scientific concepts without difficult math or science concepts. It is intended to be a conversation more so than a course, so questions, comments, and corrections will be welcomed.

My favorite engineering concepts are those of thermodynamics and fluids - the study of heat and work and the study of fluid movement (water, oil, salt water, even toothpaste - we'll cover that in a later blog). I'll try to also cover concepts of moving parts as needed to round out discussions and ideas.

I have not posted many interests as they are myriad, but my main loves outside of engineering are swing dancing, yoga, knitting, fiber arts, fashion design, my faith (Catholicism), and being with my friends and family.
