About Me

I am a freshman in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University in Durham, NC. I recently graduated from the Parish Episcopal School in Dallas, TX where I attended for 15 years. Highlights of my highschool career included serving on the Upper School Honor Council, winning 4 TAPPS 4A tennis state championships, and extensive involvement with the Texas Ramp Project.

Name Pronunciation

My name "Eric Musselman" is pronounced "AIR-rik MUSS-ull-MAN."

Academic Interests and Pursuits

Currently, I want to study Biomedical Engineering.

  • This semester I am taking these classes:
    • BIO 201
    • EGR 103
    • MATH 212
    • PSY 101

My Hobbies

  • Cooking
  • Fishing
  • Recreational Basketball and Soccer
  • Tennis
  • Traveling

Family Travel

  • My favorite place to travel is "The Cove," a family property on Eberhart Cove in the Pacific Northwest. My family takes an annual vacation to our summer home on the Puget Sound. There, we spend time together as a family, enjoy the cool summer weather, harvest fresh blueberries and blackberries, and fish/cruise in our boat.

Grand Challenges for Engineering Article

Urban densification: Creating space to live. Eco Solutions - CNN, updated 7 December 2008, accessed 13 September 2013 (Restore and improve urban infrastructure)

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

  • The Graphics "Viewing a Penny" demonstration was easily my favorite. The ability for a program to plot 3-Dimensional data representing a physical object is hard not to be amazed by. The detail on the penny's surface represented by a contour plot is awesome. I was exposed to new ideas such as using a pseudocolor that varies depending on its relative height determined by the Laplacian command. I thought that this sequence of commands was genius and the product was clean.
