My name is Morgan O'Brien and I am currently an undergraduate student at Michigan Technological University. I am majoring in the field of Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Alternative Energy. I have a goal to enter into the field of solar specifically Photovoltaic. My undergrad classes have prepared me for a career in renewables as well as my work experience in 3D modeling and FEA software. A lot of my experience has come from working at the Keweenaw Research Center located in Calumet Michigan. The past two years I have been mentored by engineers with a century worth of experience between them all.
Goals[edit | edit source]
My goal is to complete my undergraduate in the Fall of 2019 and start a career in renewable energy. There is a huge need for sustainable practices and new forms of energy for the earth to survive the changes that have already started.
