I am Andrew Elliot, an undergraduate student at the University of Connecticut studying Mechanical Engineering and enrolled in the Honors Program. As a sophomore, I am actively building my experience and developing my research skills, while seeking opportunities to connect with professionals and peers in the field. Recently, I founded and currently serve as Vice President of the Theme Park Engineering and Design Club, where I lead initiatives to explore innovative design concepts, collaborate on engineering projects, and foster a community of students passionate about engineering and creativity. I am eager to learn from others, contribute to meaningful projects, and expand my understanding of mechanical engineering and computer-aided design in both academic and real-world settings.
