Missionary TECH Team – Longview, TX

Mechanical Engineering Intern; 06/01/2015 – 08/14/2015

Conducted HVAC load calculations in MS Excel, and used results from those calculations to size heating systems such as baseboard heating and radiant floor heating.

Used AutoCAD to design HVAC and plumbing layouts. Learned how to create riser diagrams using isometric drawing. When designs were finished, created work schedules for the HVAC and plumbing components.

Projects I worked on:

oRenovations to the third floor of an existing building being modified for dormitory use by a local missionary group;An add-on for a small church that consisted of a multi-purpose room dining/sports area, kitchen, some classrooms, restrooms, and a nursery;

oSleeping cabins for a camp, where I was introduced to radiant floor heating;

oA multi-purpose activity building for another camp.

Other Experience:

Senior Design

08/2015 – 12/2015

Worked with a team of 5 people to design, construct, and test an aerodynamic package subsystem for the Baylor SAE Baja car that was entered into the College SAE Baja competition and race.

Researched materials and manufacturing processes for the front and top cover.

Assisted in construction of the aerodynamic package and testing of the air-intake system.

We performed comparison tests of the CVT to determine temperature changes while the CVT was running in two different states: the CVT being completely closed and the CVT with the complete air-intake system; both of these states were conducted at half and full throttle.

Design specification for air-intake system was to run the CVT at least 10 F cooler than without the system. Results found that the CVT running temperature with the air-intake system was, on average, 60 F cooler at half throttle and 65 F cooler at full throttle compared to the CVT tests without the system.

ClickN Kids Tablet Repair Guide & Trouble Shooting
