Ethan Haengel
Ethan Haengel is currently in his 5th year at the University of Florida, majoring in Computer Science at the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. He will graduate in Spring of 2024, with a minor in Electrical Engineering. In addition to his membership in the honor society, Tau Beta Pi, Ethan is participating in University of Florida’s Machine Intelligence Lab, working in a collaborative environment to develop an autonomous submarine for the annual RoboSub competition. Through this, he is gaining practical experience working with a large team of engineers from multiple engineering disciplines, enhancing his knowledge of both the software systems he works on directly, and the design processes of the electrical and mechanical engineers he works with.
During the most recent summer, Ethan also completed an internship with NASA at Goddard Space Flight Center, where he worked alongside NASA engineers to develop a proof of concept for constellation missions – having multiple systems autonomously communicate and collaborate to complete a task. In addition to providing a valuable opportunity to work on real-world problems, working on-site at a NASA center and being able to see where feats of engineering like the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes are made was an inspiring experience. After graduating, Ethan plans to begin working as a software engineer, and is eager to put what he’s learned into practice with hands-on projects. He is a dedicated worker and learner and is looking forward to expanding his knowledge by developing solutions to real-world challenges.
Sean Cook
Sean Cook is currently enrolled at the University of Florida pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering. Throughout his schooling he has become proficient at multiple different programming languages such as Python, C, C++, Java, Quartus, and ARM just to name a few. He has already completed all his class requirements for his Economics minor and is working on finishing his Mathematics minor as well. His previous employment was working as a lifeguard for the City of Orlando. Part of the reason he decided on this job was his passion for swimming got to play an important role in physical training. He has accomplished the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America youth group where their Eagle project involved installing a security camera system for the church their group hosted meetings. He was a part of a finance magnet program in high school that required various financial classes over the four years of the program. Part of this program was a financial internship working with Florida Prosperity Partnership to solve logistical issues about VITA’s tax service.
Steven Miltenberger
Steven Miltenberger is currently a 4th year senior computer science major at the University of Florida. He will graduate in May 2024 with an Engineering Innovation certificate from the Engineering Innovation Institute in the Herbert-Wertheim College of Engineering and a minor in Bioinformatics from the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. Steven recently began working for the Engineering Innovation Institute as a program coordinator for the IGNITE Launch program, a program that fosters a supportive environment for student entrepreneurs to develop and refine their business models. In this position, Steven’s roles are to provide mentorship to student entrepreneurs, establish relationships with industry professionals, and organize networking events.
Over the past summer, Steven studied engineering innovation and entrepreneurship abroad in Berlin, Germany. These studies provided him with experience pertaining to the ideation, creation, and funding of a startup business through the lens of the local startup economy in Berlin and the resources available there. This past spring semester, Steven also participated in a software engineering internship with HallieMorgan Technologies, an IT provider. This internship provided him with practical experience in software development. In the short term, Steven intends to get his Sigma Six White Belt certification.
Felipe Ordonez
Felipe is a fourth-year electrical engineering student with a minor in computer and information science. He fulfills a part-time job as a sales support representative at General Power, an O.E.M. and distributor for industrial generator sets, where he works on strategizing and developing advancements in the company’s website and software sales tools.
