Electrical Engineering

Mr. Allison is seeking an engineering internship or entry-level position

that presents enough challenges and opportunities for him to grow and build

on the engineering foundation he has outlined in this resume. Mr. Allison

looks forward to increasing his skills, and acquiring new ones, as his

career develops. He has been searching for a way to combine his natural

skills with the ability to make an impact in the lives of others. Mr.

Allison thrives on deadlines and challenges, and would love an opportunity

to continue to develop his skills while doing work in his community.

Experience

Projects:

. Artificial Urethral Wireless Valve: Mr. Allison developed an

artificial wireless valve for the urethra operated by a memory shape

alloy spring Nitinol. Heating the memory shape alloy through a PI

controller, he used pulse width modulation to control the wireless

valve's functionality in fully opening and fully closing. The result

was a product that aids those who suffer from over-active bladder

syndrome by better controlling their incontinence.

. Electrocardiogram Heart Monitoring Unit: In Mr. Allison's senior

design class, he designed and built an electrocardiogram heart

monitoring diagnostic tool that measures and records the electrical

activity of the heart in exquisite detail. An electrocardiogram heart

test can provide important information about the patient's heart

rhythm, a previous heart attack, increased thickness of heart muscle,

signs of decreased oxygen delivery to the heart, and problems with

conduction of the electrical current from one portion of the heart to

another.

. Digital Voice Recorder: Mr. Allison built a digital voice recorder in

which one minute could be both recorded and played back for the user.

A major challenge in the development of this project was to enhance

the quality of the playback audio from the user. This required the

implementation of a Low-pass Butterworth filter. Through this filter,

he aimed for the normal human voice range of 400 - 4000 Hz. As the

voice is recorded by the user, capacitors in the Low-pass filter will

charge and cancel out the noise feedback from the circuit resulting in

a clear and coherent message.

Computer/Technical Skills:

. Problem Solving and Strategic Thinking: There are many approaches to

problem solving, depending on the nature of the problem and the people

involved in the problem. Mr. Allison approaches each situation by

clarifying the description of the problem, analyzing its causes,

identifying and analyzing alternatives, choosing a plan of action,

implementing it, and finally evaluating the results.

. Planning and Organizing: Able to work independently and manage

priorities and tasks.

. Systems Knowledge:

o Matlab, PSpice, Simulink, OrCAD suite, C++, Assembly

o Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Visio

o Windows/Mac OS

. Presentation Skill:

o Mr. Allison has presented in front of large audiences on

inventions that he made, and had to field questions and validate

the authenticity of his designs in front of his peers.
