STUDENT PROFILE NOE SERVELLON
Putting Education to Work As an electrical engineering major, Noe Servellon has learned to be adaptable and ready for anything. This outlook serves him well in his classes and as president of the El Camino Robotics Club – especially during those times he’s had to find or create parts to operate his robots. Servellon is also busy getting his startup off the ground, a 3D printing business he started with fellow students, along with initial funding and mentors from NASA. It’s hard work, but he enjoys the challenge.

I like being an engineer. Engineering makes things better by fixing problems that are already there and solving other problems before they happen.” NOE SERVELLON, ECC Robotics Club
President, Electrical Engineering Major
Noe got his start in robotics creating Lego robots and handmade drones from scratch. He enjoys being a part of this relatively new field because it offers career flexibility due to the wide variety of companies that use robotics. www.elcamino.edu | 14
