He holds a master\u2019s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota\u2019s College of Science and Engineering. He also worked as an Analysis Manager at HRST, Inc.\u2013an engineering consulting firm providing service and products to the combined cycle and cogeneration industry\u2013for nearly seven years, inspecting units, and creating solutions for design problems.<\/p>\n<p>Aurand has always had an\u00a0interest in teaching, and Dunwoody\u2019s hands-on approach attracted him to the position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome people are more research-based and don\u2019t have any interest in actually building something,\u201d said Aurand. \u201cAnd if that\u2019s you, then Dunwoody probably isn\u2019t the best fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6>The Dunwoody Difference<\/h6>\n<p>At Dunwoody, Mechanical Engineering students are not taking two years of general classes before applying to the engineering program. These students are registered for Mechanical Engineering from day one. And all their general theory classes are held alongside their hands-on labs, allowing students to see theory applied in action.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2563\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2563\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2563\" src=\"http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9873-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"First-year Mechanical Engineering students complete an in-class, impromptu design challenge\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9873-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9873-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9873-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mechanical Engineering students complete an in-class, impromptu design challenge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During the first semester, Aurand has prepared in-class, impromptu design challenges for the students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI break the students up into three to four groups and lay out an engineering problem. They have to solve the problem using certain design requirements in a certain amount of time,\u201d Aurand said. \u201cThey compete against one another to see whose design works best with a specific application in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first of these design challenges was just two weeks into the first class. Teams of students were asked to improve on the simple paperclip design to see which group could successfully hold the most sheets of paper together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited for these challenges,\u201d Sierra Oden, first-year Mechanical Engineering student, said. \u201cWe\u2019re doing something besides staring at a whiteboard and listening to a lecture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these smaller design challenges, Aurand will assign a larger project for the end of the semester. He will ask students to design a bridge in SolidWorks and actually build a prototype in the College\u2019s Engineering Materials, Mechanics, and Metrology (M3) Lab. The objective of the project will be to support the greatest load while meeting Aurand\u2019s design specifications.<\/p>\n<p>Aurand\u2019s first-semester curriculum also features field trips to engineering firms around the Twin Cities. And as the program progresses, he will assign collaborative projects that will require Mechanical Engineering students to work with students from other programs from across the College.<\/p>\n<h6>Pioneers of the program<\/h6>\n<p>The first Mechanical Engineering cohort is made up of 10 students. Four of those students are first-year college students, three transferred in from other colleges or universities, and the remaining three were previous Dunwoody students returning for a bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2564\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2564\" src=\"http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9414-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Mechanical Engineering student Sierra Oden\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9414-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9414-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9414-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First-year Mechanical Engineering student Sierra Oden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oden, a 2016 graduate of Park High School in Cottage Grove, wanted to become a pilot until she started working on cars and building ham radios out in the garage with her dad.

And then I walked in here, and there was a class set of mills. And that\u2019s not a thing anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oden was also the captain of her high school\u2019s robotics build team, where she met Edina High School alum and robotics team member Phoebe Sanders.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2565\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2565\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2565\" src=\"http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9409-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"First-year Mechanical Engineering student Phoebe Sanders\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9409-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9409-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9409-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First-year Mechanical Engineering student Phoebe Sanders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sanders became interested in Mechanical Engineering during her senior year on Edina\u2019s robotics team.

Why is this not at every school?
