My name is Ethan Cox, a 19 year old undergraduate student currently studying Mechanical Engineering at the Ohio State University.
I have interests in mechanical systems such as cars and the automobile industry, but also have interests in petroleum engineering for which I also plan to minor in the future. I am currently a member of the EcoCar 3 project team at OSU sponsored by General Electric where I work to make the most fuel efficient vehicle possible within a given set of constraints.
I currently am employed at Midwestern Plumbing Services during breaks from school where I am tasked to aid in the installation of plumbing systems on project sites and construction zones.
I have goals of earning a BS in Mechanical Engineering by 2021 while earning work experience outside of the classroom with companies in the form of co-ops during breaks from classes, or otherwise in unique situations.
I come from a small town in Batavia, Ohio, east of Cincinnati for which I have lived most of of my life before attending college in Columbus. I am a high honors graduate from my high school where I earned the IB Diploma and several AP credits. I am a recipient of the President’s Award for Educational Excellence. I believe that family is an important factor in my life and are greatly responsible for the situation I am in today.
Strengths:
- Achiever- I want to strive to being the best for both me and the people around me. I believe that it is essential for one to continue to try and become the best possible person they can become.
- Deliberative- I believe that the world has too many variables to predict what will happen next. I find that it is best to take everything the world throws at you from a perspective that can analyze the problem for what it is and how to solve it.
- Analytical- Many things in this world should not go unquestioned, it is a major issue in the media today. I believe that everything should be taken with a grain of salt and questioned rather than merely accepting notions that could be purely incorrect.
- Focus- Being able to focus on one essential task is important in the modern world. Individual goals should be taken into great attention till great breakthroughs are made in achieving them.
- Restorative- Fixing and finding solutions are enjoying to me. I find them to be a challenge that keeps my mind active and focused in difficult situations.
