Local Civil Engineering Legacy Continues: Anthony Inkrott Prepares for Career at Defiance County Engineer’s Office

Anthony Inkrott, a civil engineering student at the University of Toledo, is following in his father's footsteps, who is also a civil engineer. His interest in engineering began in childhood, through building with LEGOs and playing video games. Inkrott started his studies at UToledo in fall 2020, a period marked by the pandemic and significant campus disruptions.

Despite these challenges, Inkrott chose UToledo for its engineering program, affordability, and diverse academic options. He has completed three co-ops at various companies, which helped him identify his preferred work environment after graduation.

A key academic experience for Inkrott was his in-person surveying class, which continued face-to-face due to its outdoor setting. This class influenced his decision to minor in surveying and pursue a Professional Surveying Licensure, in addition to a civil engineering license, to expand his career opportunities.

Mike Pniewski, a part-time instructor and Lucas County Engineer, praised Inkrott's enthusiasm for surveying. Pniewski highlighted the benefits of students engaging in real-life projects through their coursework and co-op experiences, which prepare them for professional roles.
