First Year Mechanical Engineering Student Builds EDM

Engineering is cross-disciplinary, requiring multiple facets of science and technology. After a summer of research, first year mechanical engineering student, Nathan Moormann appreciates this more than ever. Moormann has spent all summer building and testing a setup for electrical discharge machining (EDM) as part of the University of Cincinnati Protege Undergraduate Research Program.
The program is intended to give outstanding engineering students the opportunity to conduct research alongside UC professors the summer after their first year. Moormann is working at the UC Micro and Nano Manufacturing Laboratory alongside two graduate students and his mentor, mechanical engineering associate professor Murali Sundaram.
