This week I decided to talk a bit about my 24 Hour Engineer. My friend Eric Harmatz is an aerospace engineering major at Embry-Riddle University in Florida. He used to go to High Tech High Media Arts with me and graduated last year, (2010).
Throughout the entire time I have known Eric, he has been in love with airplanes. He would try to adjust as many of his class projects and assignments in order to make them about airplanes or flying. A few years ago in engineering class, he created a miniature helicopter with an on-board computer. This may sound easy enough, but getting this to balance without the help of a remote control proved to be an incredibly difficult task.Already, Eric has started working in project groups at college designing small air crafts. Eric has always been a fan of flying because his grandfather was a pilot, (as were both of mine, so I can understand his fascination with air crafts). He started working on his pilots license while in high school and should be receiving his official license this May.
