Faces of the Ferg
Tyler House - Tech Support Manager Year: Junior Major/Minor: Mechanical Engineering/Mathematics, Computer Based Honors Hometown: Rogersville, Ala.
While working at the Ferg, Tyler says he's learned to expect the unexpected. He says, "Anything that can go wrong often will, and it's never a bad a idea to have a backup plan." Tyler really enjoys working with the office and student staff that he works with every day. Upon graduation, Tyler plans to pursue a
job in the research and development side of engineering.
Tyler was also featured in a February edition of Dialog. He has been working with Second Life, an online 3-D virtual world, creating a virtual tour of the UA campus. He has re-created Graves and Carmichael Halls into virtual images. The UA Second Life is to be used as a high tech recruiting tool for interested students, and Tyler has played a vital role in the creation of a virtual UA.
