My Name is Darren Erfe and I'm currently a 5th year senior at San Jose State University working on my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. I'm originally from San Jose but was raised in a town called Lathrop near Stockton for most of my life until I started my undergraduate studies. I've chosen to study mechanical engineering because I have always enjoyed studying math and science growing up and always had an joy in designing things. However my hobby for designing ranges from everything in my life such as technology, my room, personal items, etc and mechanical engineering seemed to combine two of my passions growing up. As for the Fall 2017 semester, I have chosen to take part in the Spartan Superway project. This project largely interests me not only because it allows me to learn apply what I've learned these past few years on a real-world project, but because I have gained a desire to go into the sustainable technology industry after graduating. This project is perfect to get my first real-world experience about the field and will prove beneficial for me as a learning experience and something to put on my resume.
