Jake is also one of our Junior members.
His future is bright!
Proud moment for the WCCTC'S Pre-Engineering program!
Our students are partnering WITH the Pineville Fire Department to design and 3D print durable carbon fiber door wedges that can be used by firefighters in the field. This project is a great example of students applying engineering, problem-solving, and manufacturing skills to support real community needs.
A special recognition goes to Jake Stewart, who has served as the lead student on the project from the very beginning. Jake has helped guide the design, testing, and production process while demonstrating outstanding leadership and dedication throughout the project.
We would also like to thank firefighters Mike Johnson and Robbie Bailey for working alongside our students and helping make this partnership possible. Their support, feedback, and collaboration have given our students an incredible opportunity to see how engineering and public service can work hand in hand to benefit the community.
We are extremely proud of everyone involved in this project and thankful for the opportunity to combine innovation, teamwork, and service through real-world engineering experiences.
