ISD students from three different cohorts
The potential of sustainability in car parts has been the focus of research for three different generations of ISD students. The research has focused on strengthening auto components with natural fibers to increase their viability in manufacturing while reducing the need for synthetic fibers, which are much less sustainable than their natural counterparts. The work has created lasting connections between cohorts.
ALEXANDER SALAZAR
Masters Student, Systems Engineering Design
The course range and flexibility offered at ISD has helped Alexander Salazar pursue his dream of exploring space, as he will soon become an engineer with Blue Origin, a privately funded American company building Space Rockets and a Space Station. “At ISD, you are free to explore and roam in whatever interests you,” Alexander said. “There are so many different views in a classroom.”
Wes fermanich
ISD Fall ’21 ESE Graduate
One of the biggest takeaways from Wes Fermanich’s ISD degree was learning how to break down a large, complex system into smaller components. “Learning this skill has allowed me to approach any engineering project I encounter from a much more logical sense than I had previously by focusing on understanding the interactions of all the components within a system,” said Fermanich, 22, who graduated from ISD in December 2021 with a M.Eng. in Energy Systems Engineering.
