Boeding is a fan of design. She started collecting Bicycle Playing Cards because of their intricate and unique artwork. She even toured the factory in Erlanger, where she presented its president with a motorized rotating deck carousel she designed to showcase her favorite decks.
“I love the artwork on them. That’s the main draw for me,” she said.
She’s also an avid card player. She plays euchre at UC and is a regular at public games at a downtown park.
Boeding learned about Kinetic Vision at a UC career fair during her second year at UC.
“The line for Kinetic Vision was around the corner. I applied to their modeling and simulation department. It all sounded good,” she said.
Most UC engineering students work five co-op rotations between semesters when they’re in class. Boeding finished three at Kinetic Vision and two more at Kyocera Senco Industrial Tools, where she got hands-on experience in their tool design group in Milford, Ohio.
Now back at Kinetic Vision, she’s working part time until she graduates next year. She is making a new fixture to rotate objects for high-precision scanning, which she’ll use for her senior capstone.
“I liked the environment and the people I work with. It was a lot of fun, honestly,” she said.
