I’m a Freshman Mechanical Engineering Student at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) with team-based engineering project experience. I have previous experience with group project design and independent research studying effects of magnets on wound healing. My technical skills include FUSION 360, MATLAB, SOLIDWORKS, Excel, and MS Office. I’m seeking a Summer 2025 internship. Please contact me at bolind@msoe.edu or 224-627-5757.Since childhood, I was highly interested in engineering, often helping my dad with car repairs and modifications. This hands-on experience gave me a glimpse into the mechanics of engineering, sparking curiosity that followed me into high school. One of my memorable experiences was building an Arduino robot in my high school STEM classroom. Programming the robot to interact with its surroundings introduced me to the problem-solving abilities of engineering. Since then, I have immersed myself in projects and courses that have deepened my understanding. During my time at College of Lake County (CLC), I was involved in two projects that solidified my determination to be an engineer. My first project involved designing an experiment where I explored the potential effect of magnets on animal and plant cell regeneration. In the lab, I obtained --ceramic ring magnets, flatworms, and onion seeds-- and carefully set up control and experimental groups to ensure consistent data. I adjusted the magnet placements to discover the ideal conditions for studying effects on regeneration. This data was utilized in Microsoft Excel to uncover statistical correlations. These findings were used to write a research paper and design a comprehensive poster. I presented my project at Illinois Skyway Competition, where I shared my methods, results, and conclusions with judges.My second project involved working with a team of four to build a working marble lift prototype and modify it so that a marble would be sent into a continuous loop. I used FUSION 360 and helped design a motorized marble lift track. Two reports were written detailing methodologies, and the final prototype was presented in class.I found MSOE during my studies at College of Lake County (CLC) when searching for potential 4-year universities. It had things I was looking for –- hands-on experiences in the course curriculum and small class sizes where I would be able to interact with peers and professors.I am just beginning to travel the uncharted oceans of knowledge and I’m excited to keep pushing my skills further as I prepare for new challenges and opportunities.
