EDUCATION

University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY

Master's Degree December 2004

Major: Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering

Description: Working as a research assistant in conjunction with thesis project research.

Research focuses on precision agriculture, specifically on applications involving GPS

systems. Project involves the design, construction, and testing of a kinematic/dynamic GPS

receiver test track system. Also involves full-time class load. Courses include

instrumentation and data acquisition, finite element method, precision agriculture, GIS,

statistics and applications of calculus in heat and mass transfer.

University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY

Bachelor's Degree December 2002

Major: Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering

Description: As a biosystems and agricultural engineering major, a course of study common

to all engineering disciplines is followed: mathematics, physics, chemistry, and

engineering. In addition, we receive training in biological sciences. My emphasis within

the major was Machine Systems Automation Engineering. This emphasis is akin to Mechanical

Engineering in coursework. Engineers in this area work with fundamental concepts

including: system dynamics, kinetics, automated controls, machine design, kinematics,

fluid power (hydraulics), soil dynamics, plant-machine interactions, and digital

electronics. Other coursework included statics, economics, circuits, CAD use (ProE and

AutoCAD), and finite element analysis which included use of ANSYS.
