"My engineering education has governed all of the things that I deal with on a day-to-day basis. It provided the background and the way of thinking that I use daily at work. Being on the Formula SAE race car team in particular has really given me a lot of experience that I call on for design." - Brian Aggrey, SpaceX, Class of 2013
