Engineering interest

In both quantity and quality, Paul Peercy wants to improve the workforce coming out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering.

Gavin McCabe Weir could be a prototype.

A May graduate with a double major in mechanical engineering and physics, Weir already has broad, hands-on engineering experience from internships in mechanical and civil engineering and volunteer projects in Orongo, Kenya, and Red Cliff, Wis. He values the volunteer projects especially because they’re community-based and sustainable.
