Senior Nathan Grady,
mechanical engineering, has won first place in the ASME
Old Guard regional oral competition.
The Old Guard
competition held at the ASME student conference in
Florida last weekend, allows students to make oral
presentations on their undergraduate design projects or
research. Grady’s presentation is entitled "Design of a
UV Raman System for Scramjet Combustion Measurements.”
“I would not have been
surprised if any one of my fellow presenters had won the
competition. They each had fascinating topics and solid
presentations," Grady said. "I was honored to be able to
represent Vanderbilt and consider it a privilege to
represent the district."
Grady received a cash
prize and the right to present his research at the
national mechanical engineering conference in November.
The entire trip is funded by ASME.
“I am proud of Nathan's
accomplishment and pleased with how all the participants
represented Vanderbilt at the conference. Nathan and
Hanum Jumastapha, president, ASME student chapter;
deserve recognition for their efforts and
accomplishments,” said faculty adviser Greg Walker.
The Old Guard is a group
of experienced ASME members dedicated to helping early
career engineers bridge the gap between college and
professional life and to involving them in ASME
activities. In 2006
The Old Guard celebrated its 70th anniversary
and the 50th anniversary of The Old Guard
Oral Competition.
