\n\t\tJohnston resident to graduate with engineering, German degrees May 18<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 6, 2008 \u2013 Johnston resident Joey Micheli describes himself as \u201cthe kid on the block who loved computers and helped all my neighbors with their computer problems.\u201d Those experiences drove him to study computer engineering at the 溏心vlog免费B站, from which he will graduate on May 18.<\/p>\n


\n\tHis 溏心vlog免费B站 experience also allowed him to indulge his passion for international culture, which has already led to a job offer from a global company based in Germany.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWhen I came to 溏心vlog免费B站 I knew that I wanted to learn a different language and study abroad,\u201d Micheli said, \u201cbecause I really like to learn about different cultures and want to share ideas around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tSo he enrolled in 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s International Engineering Program, studied the German language, and spent the 2005-06 school year studying and working in Germany.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIt was a great experience,\u201d he said. \u201cI got to drive on the autobahn every day, I traveled every other weekend to Egypt, to London and Ireland, to Italy, Switzerland and Austria. One of my favorite places was Greece, which had nice weather, a nice coastline, good people and good food.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWhile in Germany, he studied for six months at the Technical University of Braunschweig and worked for six months at MTU, an engineering firm that services airplane engines. He served as a repair engineer and designed an Internet catalog for the sales department to make it easier to provide quotes for the cost of various repairs.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThe company even gave me a Mercedes to drive for six months!\u201d Micheli said.<\/p>\n


\n\tBack in Rhode Island, he worked on a school project at Astro Med in West Warwick to design a sensor for a computer printer to detect line breaks in a labeling machine, and currently works as a web developer for the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority, where he handles the design, maintenance and development of new online applications for various loan products.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIt was a phenomenal learning experience working at the Student Loan Authority,\u201d he said. \u201cI could not have asked for a better position with some of the finest people in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tAs graduation approaches, Micheli expressed great appreciation for the guidance and support his family provided throughout his college career. \u201cWhether they helped me with finances or mental support, they were always there for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n


\n\tHe is looking forward to starting work as a software engineer in the transportation systems division of Siemens in Germany, the headquarters of the global electronics and electrical engineering firm.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cSiemens has developed their own computer programming language, which I\u2019m going to have to learn from scratch, but the job has lots of room for advancement, so I\u2019m really looking forward to it,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m also looking forward to earning some Euros in a time when the dollar is so weak.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tMicheli said that Germany is a great place to start a career as an engineer, given that it is the third largest economy in the world and its companies engineer high-tech products that are exported around the world.<\/p>\n


\n\tEventually, though, the 溏心vlog免费B站 student hopes to start his own restaurant.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cI love to cook, and I\u2019d love to start my own business,\u201d he explained. \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll start my first restaurant in Germany and call it Rhode Island. It will allow me to introduce a little something of the Rhode Island culture to Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n
