Stefan Wolpert is pursuing his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical and computer engineering at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, MA. At Olin, he takes a breadth of software and hardware courses and works on various engineering projects.

In the future, Stefan plans to pursue a graduate degree in systems engineering. This summer he will be researching mobile robotic manipulators at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany. Last summer he interned in the engineering department at Lehigh Cement and prior to that ran his own local computer repair business.

Stefan is an avid skier and pianist.

Engineering education needs a better image

Ask 100 people, “What do engineers do?” Many people may say building bridges, designing roads, etc. and continue to describe a civil engineer. Obviously this is a misnomer, but where does this come from? A national poll done by Harris Interactive ranked the prestige of various careers most recently last August 2007. Firefighters and scientists took the top two spots and... More

Google Lunar X PRIZE draws in higher education

Will universities become the platform for space research and exploration? Private companies? Or will NASA remain top dog?  Will the Google Lunar X PRIZE change space exploration? A robot is the iconic mechatronic system, and in my mind, a rocket, lander and rover destined for the moon are the ultimate mechatronic system. The craft would involve every facet of engineering, including... More

Light Matters: The Unsung Heroes of Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
