Artifacts
In my first year scholars presentation, I got to research about underwater wind turbines and how the technology has progressed and will progress in the future, as well as assess its viability. It was really interesting to me since energy is one of our greatest issues in contemporary society. Even though it really doesn’t apply to my major, it’s still good to know about some of the forms of energy that may be used in the future. I learned that even though this technology is relatively new, it could become an important source of renewable energy in the coming decade or decades. There are several problems with this technology, but it has great potential and these issues can definitely be resolved, making it a viable and efficient source of green, clean energy.
About Me
Hello! I’m Austin Coy, a first year chemical engineering student at The Ohio State University. I came to Ohio State because I wanted the best education and best college experience possible. I hope to someday work for a major company managing a chemical plant or developing new technology. I just really want to leave a positive mark on the rest of the world. I hope to co-op or intern as soon as I can and get exposure to the real world to see what the industry is like so that I can be better prepared in the future. In high school, I loved working on the school announcements with my group of friends. Not only did I get exposure to organizing a news show and working in a complicated group, but I got to have a great time. I can’t wait to get out there and see how I can help change the world, but I also can’t wait to keep learning to do what I love at Ohio State!
