Following the code
The nuclear industry still relies on software that Tim Guidotti introduced four decades ago
During high school, Tim Guidotti lived at Scott Air Force Base in southern Illinois, where his father was stationed. His plan was to attend Oregon State University, as his father had, but first he wanted to establish Oregon residency. After high school, Guidotti headed to Waldport and took a job at a fishing resort and marina for six months.
Bridging the gap
Genevieve Coblentz-Strong supports marine science through mechanical design and engages her community through ocean protection organizations
Genevieve Coblentz-Strong, a fourth-year student of oceanography and mechanical engineering, is bridging the gap between her dedication to ocean health and interest in design through research.
“Oceanographers rely heavily on the technologies they use, making a background in mechanical engineering valuable,” she said. “I really enjoy talking with researchers to figure out their needs so I can build something useful.”
