My name is Alex Goshorn. I am a Mechanical Engineering Technology major and have an interest in aerospace and engine mechanics. During my time at ODU I have enjoyed my statics class along with my Thermal applications class. I am interested in thermal concepts relating to car and jet engines. I believe that I will be able to use the things that I have learned in this class to further my understanding of thermal applications and use them to become a better engineer. I believe that the concepts are a crucial part of understanding all types of heat cycles. These heat cycles are anything from car engines to steam power plants.
