CLEARFIELD — Engineering students at Weber State University and other universities across the state are pushing the boundaries of what students can achieve in real-world learning environments.
"I'm actually seeing what I'm learning being applied into the actual field," said Ethan Earnshaw, a mechanical engineering student at Weber State University's Miller Advanced Research and Solutions (MARS) center.
Since beginning his internship at the MARS center last May, Earnshaw has developed many interests through his hands-on experience in composite manufacturing — a process that enables the facility to design and manufacture strong, lightweight parts for aerospace and defense.
Weber State has a unique opportunity to be one of the only institutions to implement such a program, using partnerships with leaders in the aerospace industry in northern Utah, such as Hill Air Force Base and Northrop Grumman.
