Career Highlights

Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS

Civil Engineering Student, 09/2012 to 04/2016

Gained in-depth understanding and mastery of civil engineering research and design methodologies, technologies, and principles. Demonstrated “hands on” expertise in leading teams to design and develop complex foundation, steel and concrete structural drawings and 3D models to meet project demands. Utilize advanced research skills and diagnostic testing methods to calculate loads and resistances, thus improving designs. Researched, authored, and presented projects/papers for peers and faculty for review.

Key Accomplishments:

Demonstrated technical skills in managing Geotechnical Engineering projects, researching foundation designs and calculating strength of retaining walls/foundations, adjusting structural designs.

Led teams to study/design reinforced concrete structures, including beams, columns, and slabs.

Devised and implemented design solutions for steel members using welding and bolt connections.

Used CPM and PERT to plan, schedule and execute civil engineering construction projects following construction administration processes, bidding procedures, and cost controls.

Key Projects:

Habitat for Humanity Three Level Townhouse Design Project (09/2015-04/2016): Led group of four in designing and optimizing three level semi-detached townhouse design, including floor, roof, wall framing structure, and concrete foundations.

oProposed an environmental protection plan for a wetland neighborhood.

oCompleted AutoCAD drawings of final structure with cost estimates based on local prices.

Truss Bridge Design Project (01/2015-04/2015): Designed and built a rapid prototype truss bridge which could sustain more load with less material by applying materials mechanics method. Made data calculations, comparison, and statistic to find appropriate bending stress and deflection of different beam shapes using engineering programs.

Parking Lot and Road Design Project (01/2015-04/2015): Designed a parking lot with more than 200 parking spaces by using AutoCAD Civil 3D; devised aggressive construction schedule and included projects total cost estimations.

Internships:

Junior Field Inspector - Civil ArSa Engineering Inc. (05/2016-06/2016): Won an internship to assist engineering team in completing $13M highway and bridge construction project for MTO. Read and interpreted CAD drawings, answering contractors questions and resolve issues. Wrote daily project status reports for MTO. Maintained and updated Excel spreadsheets build schedules.

Materials Testing Technician - McIntosh Lalani Engineering Ltd. (04/2015-09/2015): Conducted onsite field testing and laboratory testing of soils, granular materials, and concrete. Collected and analyzed testing data and results. Authored and delivered Material Testing reports to client.

oAuthored and delivered a report to company manager that explained the differences in the testing results from two different versions of ASTM standards.

oConducted specific field tests including compaction testing of soils, concrete testing, casting cylinders, slump and air measurements, proctor testing, CBR testing, Atterberg Limit testing, and others.

oPlayed key role in maintaining clean and organized laboratory by ordering files, reviewing data, and preparing reports.

oCreated an Excel spreadsheet to simplify result calculation and automatically generate reports.

oAcknowledged for reducing equipment cost by evaluating the proctor test results using two different versions of ASTM Standard Proctor Tests.

oCredited for volunteering to work six days a week to complete both regular work load and extra assignments within regular budgeted hours.
