Cool Co-ops

Angela Lacobucci: Graphic Design

“I grew up watching the Super Bowl, but it was more special to watch this year, since I had been working on this project from its infancy. I contributed to many areas of the project, specifically parking passes, directional wayfinding signage within the stadium, team flags representing all 32 NFL teams (thus I can name every NFL team!), cardboard disposable trash bins, and fence wraps, which lined more than five miles of security fences around the stadium, practice fields, and special venues.” Employer: Flying Colors, Inc.

Kira Kembre: Mechanical Engineering

“Living in Japan allowed me to see many different regions of Japan, and to learn about their respective histories and customs. I was an easy train ride away from Kyoto and Osaka. I also spent many holidays traveling through the south of Honshu to Kurashiki, Okayama, and down to Hiroshima.” Employer: Omron

Ryan Miller: Electrical/Computer Engineering

“Located on Edwards AFB in the middle of the Mojave Desert, Dryden has everything an aviation enthusiast could want. Fighters such as the F-15 and F-18 log many flight hours running all sorts of experiments overhead and with a location like this, hiking, off-roading and land-sailing are all right in your backyard.” Employer: NASA Dryden Flight Research Center

Nathan Wukie: Aerospace Engineering

“When I left my second coop term, I had submitted my proposal to NASA without knowing whether I would be successful or not. When I returned for my third and current coop, I was informed that I had won my proposal and my company was awarded 100,000 dollars to research and develop my idea! Now, I am going to be co-leading the project during the time that I have left for this term.” Employer: Cornerstone Research Group, Inc.

Jince Kuruvilla: Industrial Design

“While working at Project H, I was under the direct supervision of Emily Pilloton - a 28 year old phenom who has been written extensively about in GOOD mag, Dwell, and the NY Times. She also made a recent appearance on The Colbert Report! Working side-by-side with her was an incredible experience. I feel like I gained a lifetimes worth of knowledge in my short 3 months at Project H.” Employer: Project H Design

Evan Henderson: Master of Architecture

“I flew North of the Arctic Circle, experienced the never setting sun as we hiked through the woods at 2 a.m., flew on small planes and sea planes past mountains, volcanoes, and glaciers to reach remote destinations, and inspected remains of a historic copper mill and ghost town. Not to mention the commute to work, riding my bike everyday through the woods, over creeks, and with the occasional moose delay.” Employer: National Park Service

Nicole Fannin: Master of Architecture

“The POLAKAY resort project, located in Visayas, Philippines is a 100 hectare island urban design project, begun in 2008 and ongoing today. “The Sustainable Water Town” is to be an eco-tourist destination, exhibiting local nature and culture. Phase 1 of the masterplan focuses on the design of ‘treetels’ and ‘single huts’ to house Polakay visitors. My involvement in the project was from conception to total masterplan, to detailed Phase 1 planning. I can’t wait to see the completion of all 10 phases in the future!” Employer: Aidea

Stephen Newland: Finance

“Working for an airline in a "calm" business cycle can seem somewhat overwhelming, but when you add a nearly $4 billion acquisition of Northwest Airlines it makes for pure pandemonium! I had the opportunity to work in Delta Cargo for a total of 8 months during this exciting time in Deltas history. I was exposed to many projects that would have direct impact to various synergies recognized once the two airlines had combined operations.” Employer: Delta Air Lines, Inc.

Samantha Payne: Master of Architecture

“My favorite project at William McDonough and Partners was working on the NASA Sustainability Base. I was tasked with creating a bay model with interchangeable louver and solar array options. The design approach was to start from the exoskeleton of the building to establish building performance and aesthetics that embodied NASAs spirit, fosters collaboration, and supports the well being of building inhabitants.” Employer: William McDonough and Partners

Grant Inglis: Architecture

“I worked for Renfro Design Group, an architectural lighting firm, in New York City where I was given the opportunity to work on preparing presentation drawings for the September 11 Memorial & Museum.” Employer: Renfro Design Group, Inc.
