Senior Jack Roseberg has been in Huron’s engineering class since his freshman year.
“I was always interested in math and science,” Rosenberg said. “I got into biomedical engineering, which got me into the class.”
Currently, the class is working on their project for the Senior Design Expo. This event is regional and leads into a larger statewide competition. The class is split up into groups to create a project that applies to the real world.
“Ours is pollen tracking across the US and we’ve got an interactive map, so that’ll be fun,” Rosenberg said. “Its scary because we’re presenting in front of a bunch of judges we’ve never met before.”
Engineering at Huron is special for a lot of reasons. Students apply science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) to find solutions to real-world issues. A huge part of this is collaboration; the nature of the class helps facilitate this very well.
“A lot of the people I have friends with [in the class], we’ve had three or four years together,” Rosenberg said. “So everybody kind of works together in ways I don’t see in a lot of other classes.”
Being a senior, Rosenberg is currently lining up his next four years in the engineering field.
“I plan on majoring in environmental engineering at either Michigan Tech or Michigan. I’ll probably do a track for water rehabilitation,” Rosenberg said.
Rosenberg points to the experiences Huron’s engineering class has offered him for his readiness to start this journey. When asked what advice he would give to underclassmen going into engineering, he said, “Don’t mess around and really focus on what you want to do and how you want to apply it to your life.”
