Two students received the RMEL Foundation
Black & Veatch Foundation Scholarship Adam Pineau is from Easton, KS, and is currently pursuing a degree in electrical engineering at Wichita State University. While he was a senior in high school, he obtained his journeyman license from a technical college and had the chance to gain experience in the electric energy industry. He plans to eventually work on power grids and wants to help rebuild the power system.
Adam Metzger is from Rock Port, MO and is majoring in mechanical engineering, specializing in power production, at Kansas State University. He worked as a Local Leak Rate Tester at NPPD’s Cooper Nuclear Station during a refuel outage, which was the “icing on the cake” for his decision to work in the industry. Adam would like to work at a nuclear power plant, preferably back at Cooper.

After graduation, Ryan would like to be an electrical engineer with hopes of becoming a managing EE or a company director.
Daniel Smith will graduate from Newport High School in Bellevue, WA in June. He will then attend Harvard University and major in a math or science degree. Daniel’s grandfather worked on the Big Horn Electrical Energy Committee and has inspired him to help improve the lives of the people around him by developing electrical capabilities and providing important services to the community.
Joshua Thomas is from Stilwell, KS, and is majoring in computer science at Dartmouth College. He would like to use his degree to use algorithms and programming to control demand and equalize the supply and demand requirements of the power grid. After graduation, Joshua would like to transform the electric power industry by using alternative energy sources.
