My name is Jorge Quintero. I am a mechanical engineering student at Rice University. I enjoy meeting new people and exploring new ideas, which is why I am excited to be taking ENGI 210. In the past, I have helped in designing an armrest for surgery that is in the process of being patented. And now I hope to extend my skills to new areas of machining and prototyping so I can transform any idea into a physical object.

I have always wanted to make a cell phone or any kind of communications device. Whether or not I end up with a homemade iPhone, I know I will become a better engineer by the end of this course.
