Mayor Sarno states, “What a tremendous job the engineering students at WNEU have done building this off-road vehicle. President Johnson has already taken it for a test drive and proudly stated what a wonderful job the students have done. This real-world experience is wonderful and is proof that WNEU engineering students have a 100% placement rate upon graduation. This team building work also allows the students to learn and experience the full business model from marketing, financing, testing, production and operation. I am looking forward to seeing their final product and will be cheering them on as they take their home-built off-road vehicle to the Baja competitions in Pennsylvania in May 2024.”

Mayor Sarno continued his visit with the students from WNEU College of Engineering and stopped by the see the students bridge building project too. The bridge building project tested students with building a bridge that could be built and assembled over a body of water. Sections of the bridge would have to be transported and pre-connected on site where students would be able to secure it together without access to the middle section of the bridge as that would be the section of the bridge over water.
