I'm Nathan Eckman. I am a senior at Kansas State University working on a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Business Minor. My planned graduation date is May 2024.I've worked to gain engineering and work experience both in and out of school. In school, I participate in several clubs including Engineering Ambassadors, where I enjoy speaking with many different high school students to show them what the K-State College of Engineering has to offer and inspire them to become great engineers in the future. I also enjoy helping out with the quarter-scale tractor team in the design and manufacture of the tractor.Outside of school, I have completed two internships and am currently completing my third. Throughout these internships, I've expanded my knowledge and skills in manufacturing, design engineering, and project management. Each of these experiences are detailed in more depth in their descriptions.
