My name is Evan Harrison, and I am a mechanical engineering student in the Honors Program at Northeastern University. I am also enrolled in the PlusOne Accelerated Master's Degree Program. I will be graduating with my bachelor's degree in May 2025, and my master's degree in mechanical engineering with a concentration in mechanics and design in December 2025. Upon the latter graduation, I hope to enter the workforce as a mechanical engineer. There are many industries that interest me, including automotive, aerospace, consumer products, biomedical, and more. This portfolio will serve to give you a better understanding around some of my engineering experience so far.

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.

Outside of engineering I enjoy traveling, playing and watching basketball (go celtics!), and experimenting in the kitchen. I am originally from Rhode Island, but have definitely been enjoying Boston over the past 3 years.
