[Jeff Waegelin]

I'm in my senior year of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for FIRST. My experience in FIRST was what made me apply to engineering in the first place, and my role as a mechanical designer for my team led me towards the ME program.

Additionally, now that I'm applying for jobs, I've found that FIRST experience is invaluable in interviews. Whenever an interviewer asks me to "describe a situation where you were part of a group working towards a common goal" or the like, I have an answer at the ready.
