Samuel Lem
"Being an officer and the system management design lead, I focus on ensuring each sub-system is running smoothly and communicating effectively with one another. I look to improve all aspects of the club, from team building to manufacturing processes, I work to create a more efficient system. I encourage all members to be heard and utilized for their skills while at the same time making sure they have room to grow."

Power Systems
"My sub team is concerned with how the tunnel boring machine is safely powered and with which electronics are needed on-board.
My hometown is Mill Valley, CA and in my free time I enjoy surfing, reading, and playing water polo."
