Hi my name is Jim Peckham and I am a third year student at Ohio State. I am from the small town of Edon, Ohio and I am majoring in Agricultural Engineering. A few of my many interests outside of the classroom include golf, mountain biking and basketball. I am also a member of the Team Handball Club here at Ohio State.

The area of Agricultural Engineering that I have chosen to specialize in is power and machinery systems. Very similar to mechanical engineering this specialization allows me to work with various computer programs such as CAD as well as a more hands on approach to the manufacture or design of machinery. This opportunity for design and manufacturing is what really interested me in Agricultural Engineering and is why I have chosen it for my career.
