"I chose to transfer to Lake Superior State University because of the personal attention I would receive. I did not want to attend a large university where I would be a number lost in the masses. The well-rounded curriculum allowed me to obtain my position at John Deere. Having a good balance of theory and hands-on knowledge is critical for my position and Lake State gave me a good foundation in these skills."

"I just landed my dream job! I'm moving to Connecticut where I will be designing high-performance racing mountain bike suspensions. My interest in biking is the reason studied mechanical engineering in the first place and I just wanted to let Professor Duesing know that his ability to teach the fundamentals made it possible for me to reach my goal."
