Spotlight: JoAnn Henry

Build More Through Experiential Learning

Students who join Enterprise teams are eager to dive into hands-on projects. Their work is continuous from year to year, with new team members joining as others graduate, extending the life cycle of their projects.

JoAnn Henry '25, a chemical engineering student and member of Alternative Energy Enterprise (AEE), wanted to be a part of Enterprise from the very beginning. She's one of hundreds of Huskies who shared project work at Tech's annual Design Expo.

"I joined Enterprise as a freshman because I wanted to gain project experience," said Henry. "I knew that hands-on experience would be something I could leverage for an internship and career after graduation."

As a member of AEE's plastic pyrolysis subteam, she's focused on developing a process to recycle plastics into a viable fuel source. Joining AEE meant joining a team already in motion.

"We had our own lab, and team members were getting real results and making real products," said Henry.
