Bauman grew up outside of Philadelphia, and, as he said, \u201cLiving in the Steel City, there\u2019s such a focus on metallurgy, and I got interested in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This summer, Bauman, who will receive a $10,000 scholarship, will intern at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellwoodaluminum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ellwood Aluminum<\/a>, in Hubbard, Ohio, where he will gain firsthand experience working with aluminum. \u201cMy classes have focused more on steel and steel alloys, so I\u2019ll get to expand what I know, seeing up close what\u2019s similar and different. We get the opportunity to work on real projects that we take on ourselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re grateful for Ellwood\u2019s ongoing, generous support of our students,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineering.pitt.edu\/people\/faculty\/william-buddy-clark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buddy Clark<\/a>, professor and interim department chair of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineering.pitt.edu\/departments\/mems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science<\/a>. \u201cThey provide valuable financial assistance and hands-on experience that can\u2019t be taught in the classroom.
