About Ben Cascone

Engineering, to me, is all about solving challenges. Taking on challenges is a passion of mine. When given a challenge, I am motivated and determined to complete that challenge to the best of my ability and beyond. As an engineer, I am given challenges constantly, whether it is to design a part, build a structure, or reverse engineer a design. Whichever I am doing, I am always excited to complete it, and make sure it is done right. I am creative, open-minded, and an Eagle Scout. This makes me a good leader for my peers, and I am able to analyze situations from many frames of reference. This helps groups see every angle of a problem to further the understanding of the topic and arrive at a more deeply thought-out conclusion. Planning and organizing are also strong suits of mine. On my road to becoming an Eagle Scout, I had to complete an Eagle Scout Project where I build seven window well covers for a historic house near my hometown. This project required me to compose the construction of the covers, design the plans and instructions on how to build the covers, and then direct a group of volunteers on building and installing the covers. This journey taught me a lot about team building, project planning, and project management.
