Artifacts

GES Presentation : This presentation was completed for my Scholars 1100 class. The topic was solar panel efficiency – where it stands and current steps being made to improve it. I researched this topic and found three scholarly articles that applied to my topic. I found that there are improvements being researched currently but that we just don’t have technology capable of improving solar panel efficiency today. This project was a good way to get to know two of my classmates as well as understand what teachers expect when they assign you a project requiring research. All of my classmates had to find three relevant articles, create an annotated bibliography, and then present the findings to the class. This presentation required focused group work, time management, and interpersonal skills. This was the first of many projects to come that will show me what skills are required to succeed in the industry in just a few short years.

About Me

Logan_Graduation_2015My name is Logan Markle and I am from Ashland, OH. I was very involved in academics and extracurricular activities in high school. This passion for learning and involvement followed me to OSU. I plan on earning my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and then pursuing a graduate degree in aerospace engineering. I am in the BuckeyePhil, a student organization devoted to learning and playing quality music in an orchestral setting. I like to go to one of the many recreational places on campus a few times a week to run and to strengthen my body. One of my favorite opportunities here at OSU is getting to spend time with the wonderful people I am surrounded by. I plan on getting a job working for SpaceX upon graduation and I know I will be able to apply all the knowledge I gained from my time spent at OSU.
