Every spring, seniors in the engineering department are required to showcase what they have learned through a Senior Design Project. The projects are chosen by both professors and students. Some projects are completed for fun, a club, or even for a customer. I spoke with Mr. Jaillet in the Electrical Engineering department to get some […]

Student Spotlight: Mechanical Engineering and Girl Power
Junior Paige Foley might not fit the mold of your stereotypical engineer, but that’s ok. She can engineer her own. As one of 13 girls out of 65 total Mechanical Engineers in her class, Paige has experienced first-hand the interesting challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field. I was fortunate enough to be […]
Engineering Semester Abroad in France
Every year, Grove City College sends a group of engineering students to Nantes, France to study abroad. It’s an incredible and unique opportunity for the engineering majors on campus. With such a specialized courseload, very few colleges can offer a study abroad experience within the engineering department like Grove City College does. Last semester Alex […]
Minor in Robotics
There is something undeniably exciting about robots. Christians in particular have good reasons to be excited, as well as a unique perspective. Instead of seeing robots as a replacement for the human race, or supposing that the ultimate “upgrade” is electronics hardware and artificial intelligence instead of a new heart1 (Ezekiel 36:26), we believe that the human race […]
Springbreakers: Engineers and Missions
How can I, as an engineering student, further the work of Christian missions? This is a question I’ve been asking for a while. Last week gave me part of the answer. Spring break began after classes on Friday, March 3, and since I live close to home I was able to visit with my family […]
Rise of the Makers: The Story of a New Competition on Campus

The movement strives to clash together crazy entrepreneurs with risk-taking engineers; and the result is flame-throwing musical instruments. It was the goal of GCC senior engineers Logan Mackenzie and Sam Cooper to coax […]
