Stuart F. Robinson of Mocksville, a 2024 graduate of Davie High School who is attending NC State University majoring in mechanical engineering, has been awarded a $2,000 scholarship by the local section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
Robinson, the son of Lloyd and Sherri Robinson of Mocksville, graduated with academic honors from Davie High. He completed all levels of drafting and several technology and design classes.
He is an Eagle Scout and served as his Troop’s Senior Patrol Leader (highest youth leadership position) for two years in high school. Among the traits fostered during his dozen Scouting years are a love for the outdoors and an appreciation for conservation and efficiency in everyday life.
He is a cheerful friend to many, and able to demonstrate what is described as a “live and let live” approach to those with whom he disagrees.
Robinson’s father, Lloyd, is a senior technical engineer at Doosan Bobcat North America and is a longtime active member of ASME.
ASME is a 75,000-member professional organization, active for more than a century (since 1880), supporting the profession of engineering through establishing codes and standards, publishing technical journals, participating in educational accreditation, and hosting seminars and conferences.
ASME is committed to promoting technological literacy and providing support for future engineers.
Davie High has an extensive career and technical education program where students are able to prepare for professional careers no matter the destination past the graduation stage.
Available courses range from automotive, drafting, carpentry, masonry, health occupations, early childhood education, to culinary, computer programming, robotics, mechatronics, and so much more. In these classrooms, hands-on, real-world, and authentic education happens, and students are earning industry recognized credentials that put them ahead of the game for their future.
Students are making a mark in their communities locally and globally through engaging in internships with industries and partnerships with Davidson Davie Community College.
“We truly believe in the power of Career and Technical education in creating inspired, empowered, and prepared global citizens of the workforce of tomorrow,” said teacher, Will Marrs.
