Who I am
Who I am
Hi, My name is Evan Harrison, and I am a 22 year old mechanical engineering student that enjoys traveling, playing and watching basketball (go Celtics!), and experimenting in the kitchen. I also love to find a good movie to watch, especially if it is a comedy and/or action movie. I am originally from Rhode Island, but have definitely been enjoying Boston over the past 3 years. Back home, I have experience working on a blueberry farm as a farmhand, at a summer camp as a custodian, in a restaurant as a table busser, then a server, and a math tutor. Since coming to college, I have gained experience working in retail, as an office assistant, as a course grader for Statics and Dynamics, and various engineering experiences that I will dive deeper into in this portfolio. As a person, I think that the most valuable thing I bring to the table is my sense of creativity. I think my diversity of work experinece give me a unique perspective on the world. When tackling new problems, I usually like to put my own spin on it. I realize that you shouldn't always reinvent the wheel, but I also recognize that nothing is perfect and everything can always be improved! I am a hard worker with high standards, and am always trying to better not only myself, but also the world around me.
What I am Doing
What I am Doing
I graduated from the Honors Program at Northeastern University with a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering in May, 2025. I am currently enrolled in the Master's Degree Program at Northeastern University, through the PlusOne Program. I am also pursuing my master's degree in mechanical engineering, with a concentration in mechatronics. Upon my graduation in December, I hope to enter the workforce as a mechanical engineer. There are many industries that interest me, but what I really love is learning new things and expanding my knowledge base. This portfolio will serve to give you a better understanding around some of my engineering experience so far.
How I got here
How I got here
Ever since elementary school, I have always been more math and science inclined. Then, when I got to 11th grade, I took physics for the first time and understood what I wanted to do for my career. I loved how a set of equations and conditions could explain motion and help to predict the outcomes of scenarios given minimal information. I took a second year of physics the following, and applied to engineering programs at all the schools I applied to. Since beginning studying engineering, I have realized that there is so much more to it than just the physics and math and equations. I have learned that engineering is a way of thinking, it's about understanding complex problems and trying to solve them. It is a field where simple solutions can be more impressive than the complex ones.
