MadisonMadison Henry’s passion for the engineering industry started at a young age as she grew up on a family farm and learned the mechanics of the equipment that was used. It is now Madison’s goal to leave her legacy on impacting technological advancements on machines of the future.  

This past year Madison took on a leadership role as president within the Lake Campus Engineering Club, where she represented a fantastic engineering department, coordinated club events, worked with a great team and met engineers from all over. 

Through Madison’s current mechanical engineering co-op at Nidec Minster, she learned the vital role that engineers play within the design and manufacturing industry. She also has learned the importance of dedication, determination and a strong work ethic. Madison’s co-op has taught her that there is a great need for continuing advancements within the manufacturing industry as well as diversity in this male-dominated field. Throughout her co-op, Madison created and revised 3D models and their associated 2D drawings, assisted with mechanical designing for manufacturing and engineering calculations, and specialized in creating casting models. 

Madison plans to take the knowledge she acquires through her studies at Wright State University to advance the equipment and technology that produce the items everyone uses in their daily lives. Madison is continuing her higher education in the engineering field, including a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. 

Congratulations, Madison, and good luck in your future endeavors!
