As the Director of Undergraduate Co-op and Internship Programs, David will focus operationally on increasing student work experiences, optimizing/enhancing the registration process, and strategically building greater partnerships across all of campus to better leverage co-op and internship work experience as part of wider student experiential learning progressions.
Before working in Mechanical Engineering, David worked as a research engineer at Georgia Tech Research Institute and Oak Ridge National Laboratory and did consulting work with educational support companies. He was at Georgia Tech for his entire educational career (Undergrad in Mechanical Engineering through a PhD in Robotics) and was even on campus for the first 3 years of his life while his parents were both finishing degrees in Mechanical Engineering.
