My name is Dante Faria and I am a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering Student at Northern Arizona University. In my free time I enjoy anything to do with the outdoors including hiking, camping, snowboarding, and riding dirt bikes. After college, I plan to work in Prescott Valley for the company I intern for at the moment and furthering my engineering knowledge. I chose to work on this the Boeing Drone project because I felt that this project would be a great way to expand on my knowledge of engineering and to see what it is like to work with a real engineering company. Our team has elected me as the Project Manager due to the fact that I am organized and good at keeping things on schedule.

My name is Jay Khunt and I am a international student from India and a senior year Mechanical Engineering student at Northern Arizona University. I always wanted to became a Pilot to fly and travel around the world. But unfortunately, I did not become a Pilot because of my high-power eye contacts. So, the second-best thing came to my mind was Aeronautical Engineering by which I can fulfill my dream of working with planes. I have been into planes and following Boeing for years now, and as soon as I heard about Boeing Capstone Project, I knew that I am taking this project. Also, I am excited to work with company employees in real time and gain a lot experience. I have been chosen as a Test Engineer and a Web Developer for the team because in general I love coding a bit here and there. Also, in my free time I would love to enjoy the cold weather of Flagstaff, go on walks, play some basketball and educate myself to new technology. Plans after my graduation, I am not exactly sure but I will be trying to find a Job if not then I will be pursuing my masters in Aeronautical Engineer.
