"To me, engineering means using my skills and abilities to design solutions that improve people's lives." — Alex Stella, Mechanical Engineering Class of 2026
After graduation, Alex completed an internship with Advanced Input Solutions in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, before beginning a master's degree in mechanical engineering in the fall.
At U of I, Alex gained valuable hands-on experience in the Assistive Robotics Laboratory, where he designed and tested wearable exoskeletons for stroke rehabilitation. His work allowed him to apply his engineering skills to developing technology designed to improve people's lives.
Alex also received a semiconductor scholarship that supported his certificate in robotics engineering. The scholarship allowed him to focus his education on a field he finds both interesting and applicable.
Congrats, Alex!
