Weber State University students gain real-world engineering experience at the MARS center.

The center partners with Hill Air Force Base and Northrop Grumman for industry projects.

Students work on aerospace defense projects using recycled materials and advanced 3D printing.

CLEARFIELD — Engineering students at Weber State University and other universities across the state are pushing the boundaries of what students can achieve in real-world learning environments.

"I'm actually seeing what I'm learning being applied into the actual field," said Ethan Earnshaw, a mechanical engineering student at Weber State University's Miller Advanced Research and Solutions (MARS) center.

Since beginning his internship at the MARS center last May, Earns
