Owen Swanberg - Scribe
This is Owen's fourth year studying Electrical Engineering at Iowa State University emphasizing in power systems. Owen will attend Nuclear Power School in Charleston, South Carolina upon graduating and will serve in the submarine community for the U.S. Navy. His interest in this senior design project comes from experiencing the importance of having consistant and safe power on submarines and wanting to expand his knowledge on power systems. As scribe, Owen takes meeting notes of all group and client meetings for reference or absent group members. Owen plans to leave the Navy with a master's degree in electrical engineering and work in the northwestern part of the United States.
