“My experience at Accurpress has been a great combination of designing with 3D modeling, using sketches/notes to iterate designs, and also physically building prototype designs for solutions I’ve developed,” says DeLawyer. “I work mainly with the shop manager who points out things that could be tweaked, but I work with fellow employees who are in the assembly area, electronics area, welding area, and machining area.”

While at Dordt, DeLawyer learned how “all of life is connected and ruled by Jesus Christ and how work has a valuable role in our lives as Christians.” According to DeLawyer, “my education from Dordt not only prepared me to have the knowledge I needed for any engineering position, but it also shaped me into a conscientious steward who cares about more than merely how employees do at their job.”
