LETOURNEAU FRESHMAN, RODRIGO VAZQUEZ GIVES BACK AT THE ATA

During his first semester, Rodrigo enrolled into an Introductory to Engineering course where he successfully designed, built and programmed a 3D printer. In addition, he designed other 3D models using an engineering software program that will be used to construct future engineering projects such as weather stations.

During his second semester, Rodrigo enrolled in Introduction to Engineering practices II. He was a member of an engineering team that successfully designed and built a portable weather station. Various parts of the weather station were designed and programmed by Rodrigo using a 3D modeling software program.
Rodrigo stated, “I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at LeTourneau thus far. I truly believe that it was the best choice overall. My skills and knowledge are put to the test on a daily basis which will help to shape me into the engineer that I want to be. In addition, the experience of being part of the tennis team is like no other. My teammates and I strive to make each other better every day. I am very thankful for the ATA and the opportunity to train at such a great facility and with amazing coaches.”
Rodrigo was the only tennis player from the freshman class of new tennis recruits to be named to the LeTourneau Yellow Jackets starting lineup as most of the returning players filled the other spots. The team finished third in the American Southwest Conference (ASC) this Fall and lost in the second round at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) tournament.
