Class #2 of the Semester

The second class that I am taking this semester is SYS 505: System Safety and Certification. This class mainly covers safety and risk measures, methods, etc. for aircraft like planes. I hope to take the material learned here and apply it to systems such as rockets. Daniel Penny is teaching it this semester; he is a good professor. I have had him for previous MS SYS classes. His lectures make sense and are very easy to follow; he also lectures in a way that keeps you engaged and paying attention through those 5pm-8pm time blocks. Due to the fact that it is 5pm-8pm Monday nights, we only have one class per week which is really nice. The SYS classes are pretty straightforward in general which is great. This class has around 1 online quiz and 1 assignment per week with a final exam at the end. The workload seems very reasonable thus far. Overall, it’s a great class, and I look forward to learning more in it!

The Summer Comes to an End

This Summer was incredibly fun. The sightseeing, friends, family, and amazing job made it all worth it. Here are a few last pictures to close out the Summer. These pictures were taken on my last day at SpaceX with some new friends that I made along the way. For more information on my internship, you can see some of my previous posts or look at my LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isabella-delorenzo/

Next up is a little bit about what my Fall 2024 semester has been like and plans for the future! Thank you to all who have supported me thus far. I am super excited for the next year of my life as many changes are sure to take place.

Undergraduate Time Comes to a Close

It was the end of a decade, but the start of an age

My time at ERAU as an undergraduate student came to a close last May. Throughout these four years I have made many lifelong friends and grew both academically and personally. I am grateful to all who supported me as well as those that made me stronger.

Next Chapter…

On to the Summer and my last year here at ERAU! During the Summer I completed my fourth round of the Summer internship program at SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA as a Graduate Engineer. This academic year, I will be finishing my graduate degree in Systems Engineering. But those are topics for other posts….. 🙂
