Ingrid Kooda:
I’m a senior mechanical engineering student at the University of Idaho. I’ve had four previous internships: two at the Idaho National laboratory, one at the NASA Ames research center, and last summer I worked at BP Alaska. I’m fairly involved on campus working as a senior resident assistant in the residence halls. I serve as a senior rep for the Idaho branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the flight systems engineer for the Vandal Atmospheric Science Team, and the vice president of the Society of Women Engineers. I enjoy showing my dogs, skiing, fishing, and adventures. |

Kyle Newell:
I am a senior at the University of Idaho working toward my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and will graduate in the Spring of 2014. I chose the field of mechanical engineering because I really enjoyed my math and physics classes in high school, and I wanted to further that knowledge and apply it to design projects. In my free time I enjoy biking, photography, listening to music, and cooking. |

Michelle Spear:
I'm a senior studying mechanical engineering at the University of Idaho. I've had two internships previously. The first was two summers ago where I was a production control intern for B/E Aerospace in Marysville, Washington. My second internship was last summer where I was an intern in the process and process safety group for BP in Anchorage, Alaska. Some of my hobbies include skiing, hunting, and flying airplanes. |

Alex Rowson:
I am a senior pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Idaho. For the past two years, I have been an intern with Avista Utilities working on a wide variety of tasks including GIS mapping, field work, and coding. I chose this project due to a personal interest in robotics. Most of my free time is spent playing music including classical guitar, drums in multiple bands, and electronic musicproduction. |

Sean Heagerty:
I am a senior at the University of Idaho. I am expecting to graduate in May of 2014 with a computer science degree. I am originally from Kent, Washington, and my interests include videogames, studying history, watching movies/TV shows, and socializing. |
CS | |||
Tanis Lopez:
I am a computer science senior at the University of Idaho. I have previous experience on projects using software engineering and multiple computing languages. I hope to learn more about working with hardware while on the RoboSub team as well as be part of a team producing a better performing sub. |
