Strengths & Skills:
Throughout the curriculum of my M.E. degree, certain courses provided valuable skills necessary in the industry. In Comprehensive Design I & II, a design team consisting of three student members and myself were partnered with two stakeholders and an academic advisor. Our objective was to design and manufacture a designated product that met all the needs and safety regulations of the stakeholders as well as the consumer. This provided a substantial challenge, pulling from all of the engineering techniques we had acquired. Other courses of noteworthy mention were that of Mechanical Equipment Engineering and Basics of Nuclear Engineering. They both were excellent tools to understand the intricacies of many mechanical systems ranging from numerous types of boiler designs down to different types of ball valves.
