The Story of ME: Chip Wade, BSME '05

The Story of ME is a series of videos that showcase the lives of students, alumni, and faculty who were impacted by their time spent at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineeing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Each is a story of a helluva mechanical engineer! Chip Wade, BSME '05, is the star of his own HGTV show, Elbow Room.
