B1G IMPACT: Our Students

Jordan Burchatz	Junior - Mechanical Engineering In high school, Jordan didn't really understand what engineers did, but he knew they were problem-solvers and that appealed to him. Now, he's making the most of his experiences as a Mechanical Engineering major at UNL.
Syndey Schaaf	Senior - Mechanical Engineering Sydney loved building things, even when she was younger. She also loved playing her flute, so she's combined these two passions and is double-majoring at UNL: Mechanical Engineering and Music Performance. Find out how she manages two demanding majors.
Formula SAE Team	Learn about our FormulaSAE team, featuring students in Mechanical & Materials Engineering, partnering with other UNL students to build a Formula SAE car for the national competition in Lincoln in spring 2012.
Microgravity Team	Members of the Mechanical & Materials Engineering Department are frequent participants in NASA's Microgravity University. The program engages selected college and university teams in scientific research that helps our nation's space program to refine its efforts. Projects are conducted during a series of parabolic reduced-gravity flights in specially-equipped NASA aircraft that reach 35,000 feet above the earth's surface. Read more about their 2011 spring experience.
