ABOUT AARON FIEGER
About Me.
I am a recently graduate mechanical engineering student at the University of Delaware (UD) located in Newark Delaware. I graduated from UD in May 2023 with my bachelors degree in mechanical engineering and graduated with my masters degree in mechanical engineering in May 2024.
I love to learn about scientific topics that are new to me, whether they can be categorized as engineering or not. I particularly enjoy working on team projects that involve bringing a prototype from the conceptual stage up to a market ready product. My specific interests are in manufacturing, aerospace, composites, and robotics. I enjoy opportunities that allow me to develop technical solutions for complex problems and collaborate with team members and consumers directly.
​
In the summer of 2023 I had an enriching experience working at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, CA on the supply chain engineering team. At SpaceX, I gained lots of hand on experience in composites manufacturing as well as manufacturing for products in general. Additionally, I learned more about the importance of designing for manufacturability (DFM) and how a supply chain works on a daily and long term basis.
During my undergrad career, I studied the impact physics of composite materials under Dr. Bazle G. Haque at the Center for Composite Materials at UD and have gained experience with FEA, X-Ray Computer Tomography, and SolidWorks Fixture design through my experience there. For my senior design project in the Fall of 2023, I worked with DowAksa to reverse engineer drone propellers out of forged carbon fiber. Some of the work from that project can be viewed here.
​
Additionally, my recent scientific interests involve programming, specifically in learning html, CSS and JavaScript using the code academy platform, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. I have some experience in these topics but am actively trying to learn more about them to gain understanding and experience. I also enjoy opportunities where I can apply graphical design concepts to technical work. Outside of engineering related concepts I am passionate about exercise and weightlifting and ran a half marathon in March 2024. Additionally, I am an avid Philadelphia sports fan, mainly watching the Sixers and Eagles.

Education
2023 - 2024
Master's, Mechanical Engineering
University of Delaware
I earned an MSME at UD in a 4+1 program. Some of the key classes I took included Introduction to Robotics, Intermediate Heat Transfer, Advanced Ordinary Differential Class, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, and Aerodynamics.
2019-2023
Bachelor's, Mechanical Engineering
University of Delaware
I gained knowledge of engineering theory as well as hands on experience for designing and prototyping during my undergraduate curriculum at UD. Some of the projects I was proud of was designing a wooden bike frame, an autonomous pill filling machine, and making drone propellers out of forged carbon fiber.
