Ian Peng

Ian is a lover of airplanes and will be going into his third year in Engineering Science specializing in Aerospace Engineering. Ian has been a huge fan of airplanes since he was a kid, and the things he finds so attractive about them might be considered unusual… for example, the way the doors of commercial planes open and close! He is a self-proclaimed ‘AvGeek’ and will be starting his pilot training this summer, as well as joining us as a Co-op Online Learning Assistant at the EdTech Office.

Ian’s recent work and volunteering experience is in the fields of education and customer service. In high school, he was an assistant teacher at an after-school math program for students seeking to go above and beyond their curriculum. He also worked in customer service at IKEA, and volunteered at Pearson Airport, where he was able to spend some time airplane spotting in his free time! When he isn’t airplane spotting or collecting plane models, he has enjoyed playing piano, guitar, and tennis. Ian is grateful for the unique opportunity to see “behind the scenes” of his online learning experience and is excited about supporting professors in course building.
