STUDENT IMAGES AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Evan Fulford, a senior from O’Fallon, Illinois, designed the cover and created the image in Photoshop, proving that an engineer can be a gifted artist. The Michigan Engineer staff selected his cover from a number of designs submitted by engineering students. In May 2006, he’ll receive a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design. After graduation, he'll pursue a career in product design.
