Cole Smith

Young professional with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering as of August of 2022 with my E.I. in the state of Florida. Reference Number: 1100026133 and hold my Professional Certification in Solidworks (CSWP) effective July, 2022. Currently studying yacht design at The Landing School in Arundel, Maine with a scheduled graduation in May 2024.

My college career began at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. I was recruited for pole vault and competed in the RMAC Division II my freshman year. I later transferred to the University of West Florida to be closer to family. While at UWF, I was appointed team lead of the UWF Solar Car and lead projects including brakes, motor mounts, and steering. I also bult an autonomous car in Mechatronics that allowed me the opportunity to 3D print components and code an Arduino for reactivity. As my senior project, I co-led a team that developed a 70lb submersible ROV. This project brought together everything from welding to thermodynamics. With an onboard 360-degree camera and four motors, the ROV completed a two meter dive with live camera feed. Additionally, while at UWF, I have been an active member in the Argo weight club and the Surf and paddle club. My hobbies include CAD design and 3D printing, along with surfing, lifting, and fabrication and innovation of cars, boats, and motorcycles.
