*** *. ******* **** ***** Apartment H23, Upland, CA 91786 Professional Summary

Seeking to expand my experience in the Engineering field through full-time employment. Hands-on Mechanical Engineer with skills in mechanical design, product development and manufacturing. Expertise in machine design, 3D CAD design, modeling, mechanical analysis, manufacturing methods and project management. Available October 2018.

Education

Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, New York, USA Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering GPA: 3.50 Aug 2018 Mustafa Kemal University Hatay, Turkey

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering May 2008 RIT Relevant Coursework

• Computer Aided Design & Manufacturing, Powertrain System & Design, Composites Material, Finite Element Methods, Optimal Design, Vehicle Dynamics, Engineering of System RIT Projects

Modelling “Vickie” Stirling Engine Aug 2017-Dec 2017

• Modelling of Stirling Engine components and subsequent assembly model with proper mates and relations, using SolidWorks. Improvements or changes to necessitate function and eliminate interference were documented and completed using the Interference Analysis tool in SolidWorks. Following the design and assembly, technical drawings, exploded views and BOM's of major components were generated. The second part of the project involved using MasterCAM to generate tool paths for machining the flywheel from a block of aluminum on a Prototrak Mill.

Engineering of System Product Development Aug 2017-Dec 2017

• Redesign of an existing consumer device. The goal of the project was to use the tools and methods presented in class, such as customer value chain analysis(CVCA), affinity diagraming, A3 process, QFD to enhance the value of this consumer device.

Shaft Analysis with FEA Aug 2016-Dec 2016

• Consider a shaft in torsion with some parameters such as dimensions, Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio so on. Using ANSYS, plotted three different meshes with different mesh density, applied their input files in Matlab code, solved for maximum shear stress, location of the max value, and torque for each mesh and compared torque and maximum shear stress to some public value. Design of Suspension Model for Four-wheel Vehicle Jan 2017-May 2017

• Developed a four-wheel vehicle suspension model which accounted for realistic suspension geometry, spring and damper coefficients and presented results from simulation for a step impulse using Matlab/SIMULINK.

• Shock absorber with different damping coefficient was also considered to simulate as it was a non-linear parameter.
