  • Jackrabbit in the spotlight—Allea Klauenberg / A story of trials, triumphs and determination

    Allea Klauenberg long thought her career would be in engineering. As a child growing up on an acreage near Ogden, Iowa, 30 miles west of Ames, she played with Tinkertoys and Legos, not Barbies.
    “I always knew I wanted to do engineering. I just didn’t know the focus,” Klauenberg, who choose mechanical because she was told it was the broadest field of engineering. So broad, it could take her into the field of aerospace and give her an opportunity to be a leader in South Dakota State University’s Space Trajectory project.
