Students in ASU’s Theme Park Engineering and Design Club are applying what they’ve been learning in their classes in ventures such as a Ride Engineering Competition that has drawn more than 220 students from 21 universities. Vidhi Dharnidharka, a mechanical engineering student in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, manages the club’s funding and travel expenses and helps to secure materials and equipment. Fellow mechanical engineering student Arial Antonini notes how club members learned new skills as they designed the team’s roller coaster for the competition. Such opportunities outside the classroom are providing students hands-on technical education as well as experience in developing and managing creative collaborative efforts.
