OBJECTIVE: Seeking a position as a mechanical engineer where I can use my strong analytical problem solving skills and leadership experience to support all levels of optimization and innovation.

EDUCATION:

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Graduation Date: December 2015

The University of Texas El Paso Overall GPA: 2.83

PROJECTS:

Shell-Eco Marathon April 2014 – December 2015

-Designed and created the full 3D model on NX and performed a finite element analysis on all parts along with hand calculations to confirm the computational results.

- Implemented 3D printed ABS plastic to minimize weight but still maintain rigidity.

-Devised the appropriate tolerencing for blueprints to machine the parts that were made of aluminum.

-Redesigned the vehicles fairing to increase fuel efficiency and reduce the vehicles total drag force.

-Designed and calculated the total amount of frictional force on the vehicle to allow it to be moved with one pound of force giving it a total gas mileage of 1400 miles per gallon.

Senior Design, ASME Robots for Relief Challenge September 2015 – December 2015

-Collaborating in a team of four people to design a remote control vehicle to traverse an obstacle course in a timely manner with cargo inside.

-Calculated the necessary torque of dc motors needed to power the vehicle and carry its payload.

-Implementing the use of Arduino circuit boards to program the vehicle to a Bluetooth controller for operation.

Mechatronics May 2015

-Simulated a quarter-car passive suspension utilizing Adams and Simulink.

-Evaluated and programmed the effect of using a PID controller as opposed to a traditional spring and damper system.

Heat Transfer April 2015

-Designed a heat sink to cool from 85 to 70 degrees Celsius with integrating a Matlab spreadsheet for all calculations.

-Constructed a 3D model with toleranced blueprints in NX for machining.

Aerodynamics and Control January 2015

-Performed simulations on models and advanced assemblies on Adams.

-Computed and processed the simulations from Adams to Simulink with oscillations versus time.

EXPERIENCE:

Undergraduate Research Assistant University of Texas at El Paso January 2014-September 2014

I work in a lab sputtering different samples for use in solar films, generators, etc.

I work with different machines such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD).

I was also trained in design of the films and used my knowledge on NX to model and design samples.

I was able to lead many different solar projects as well as work in a team to accomplish a common goal.

Undergraduate Research Assistant University of Texas at El Paso September 2014-Present

I was able to lead many different solar projects as well as work in a team to accomplish a common goal.

I work in a design lab, catering to prosthetic development.

I used NX to help in the design process of sample prosthetics.

Instructional Aide Socorro Independent School District Sept.2016-Present

I work with young children with special needs, each child has been diagnosed with Autism.

I assist children with their assignments, teaching them the core concepts of Math, Science, Social Studies, Reading and Writing.

I am able to lead a classroom and effectively teach subjects.

Instructional Aide Socorro Independent School District July 2015-Sept. 2016

I assist children with their assignments, teaching them the core concepts of Math, Science, Social Studies, Reading and Writing.

I am able to lead a classroom and effectively teach subjects.

I lead the classroom in the absence of the classroom teacher.
