My name is Gabriel Jang, and I’m a Junior Mechanical Engineering student at Purdue University Northwest.

My passion for engineering began when I was just five years old, building LEGO creations and taking apart anything, I could get my hands on to understand how it worked. That early curiosity has grown into a deep interest in designing and optimizing mechanical systems for greater efficiency and sustainability.

After graduation, I hope to apply my skills in the automotive, aerospace, or energy industries, contributing to innovations that make our planet cleaner and more sustainable. My ultimate goal is to make a meaningful impact in my community and improve people’s lives through engineering.

In the meantime, I’m excited to be part of a community that shares knowledge and empowers others to troubleshoot and repair their own devices through accessible guides and documentation.

I currently serve as president of our ASME chapter, where I lead a team of over 15 members in various engineering projects, including the Shell Eco-Marathon Competition. Our electric prototype vehicle achieved an impressive 2,480 mpg-equivalent efficiency, and we’re striving to one day surpass the current world record of 27,000 mpg-equivalent.
