Justin Kant

Hi my name is Justin Kant and this is my engineering portfolio. My current

occupation is being a student, (sophomore) of Verona Area High School, (age:16).

My technical interests are: aerospace, chemical, computer, civil, and mechanical
engineering. But out of these five, my most focused upon branches of engineering are
both aerospace and civil nuclear engineering. Although I wish to combine the skill sets
into one, particularly pertaining nuclear fusion and fission.

The world of engineering is a place I could explore for an eternity. Out of
everyone, Wernher Von Braun and Nikola Tesla are my most admired and respected
engineers I aspire to be. I respect them to such a high degree simply because of the
effect theyve had on the world of engineering, and the world itself.

My technical skills are very limited at the moment. In the previous year I took a
class on CAD and am now currently in a IED class. Although I have more hands on
skills than one might assume, from the age of eight Ive tampered and experimented
with the popular kids toy Knex, and have created many variations ranging from
slingshots to simple machines used in Rube Goldberg projects. But when it comes to
designing and developing using constraints and design programs I fall short quite a bit.

My future aspirations are to become either an engineer, (aerospace or nuclear
(fusion), or to become a physicist, (theoretical or astronomy). But there is a possibility of
combining 1 or all of these careers choices into one, but only time will tell.
