Shooting for the moon with NASA
Freshman chemical engineering major Jacob Hewes describes himself as a self-starter.
“I’m always challenging myself to work harder and be the best at what I do,” he says. “When all my friends were looking for jobs in retail or customer service, I wanted to do something that I knew would be valuable to my development as a chemical engineer.”
During the summer entering his senior year of high school, Hewes was accepted into the UD-K12 Engineering Internship Program, which paired students with 10-week research projects.
