Seeing students thrive in the industry is what FEF is all about. πŸ‘

FEF's Joe Costabile recently visited Steel Dynamics to catch up with FEF scholar and AFS Student Chapter Secretary Zach Laurent during his summer internship.

As an entering junior in Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Southern University, Zach was looking to broaden his experience beyond aerospace, and found exactly that at Steel Dynamics' newly built mini foundry. From operating the R&D induction furnace to creating no-bake molds for steel production simulations, he's gained hands-on experience while discovering a passion for metallurgy.

Zach also shared some advice for students considering an internship:
"Take as much feedback as you can get, good or bad. You should even ask for feedback - it will help you solve issues much more quickly."

After this internship, Zach is now considering pursuing a master's degree in metallurgy and hopes to return to Steel Dynamics for another internship next summer.

Congratulations, Zach! We're excited to see where your journey takes you.
