Ryn Shuster

Team Leader, Budget Liason

I am a Senior Mechanical Engineering student at Northern Arizona University. Currently, I do design for Additive Manufacturing in the Dynamic and Active Systems Lab and manage a 3D printer for grad students and research labs. I also grade and TA for our program's introductory Solidworks class. Prior to coming to NAU I was only able to pursue my education part time while working full time as a precision CNC machinist where I was exposed to the components and engineering of a broad number of industries, this knowledge has been a critical framework from which to view my education and my potential future place in the engineering world
