Dear Hiring Manager:

I am a graduate from the University of California, Riverside with a B.S. in Mechanical

Engineering. I am very interested in starting my career in understanding manufacturing processes

while developing design and management experience. I have gained many skills in engineering

as a Mechanical Engineering Intern and would like to become an immediate contributor to your

team.

The following are highlights of my qualifications and accomplishments

I was highly recommended for the position of Student Success Counselor here in the

office of Bourns College of Engineering (Graduating with an overall 3.2 GPA).

Leadership skills are shown through being hired to be a Resident Advisor in the residence

halls here at UCR.

Applying engineering skills in a team of students working on our senior design project.

Worked on many projects as a Mechanical Engineering Intern for metal extrusion

company.

My strong leadership, passion for engineering, and time management skills allow me to perform

at my very best. I consider myself a hands-on individual that can work well with others and

under pressure. I enjoy applying the skills I have learned in school like understanding how

different processes work. Projects or assignments are always turned in on time and I am never

late for meetings or job shifts. I can create designs and test for safety using a program called

SolidWorks that can build 3-D models and create 2-D drawings.

I am looking forward to the opportunity to discuss with you how my skills and strengths can best

serve this company. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Miguel Angel Nevarez

Education

University of California, Riverside June 2014

BS, Mechanical Engineering

Experience

Sierra Aluminum Co. Internship

Mechanical Engineering Intern Summer 2014

As an Intern, I was given many projects and assignments. My first assignment was to observe

and understand the process of manufacturing of this metal extrusion company. My next project

was to work on reducing the amount of metal chips that are produced by the saw that cuts the

metal extrusions. Another project I was given was to design clarifiers that would filter any runoff

that accumulates on their parking lots. My last project was to observe and make

recommendations for a new filter press.

Trojan Battery UCR

Senior Design Project September 2013

I worked with a team of fellow Mechanical Engineering students on a project that would be

completed by the end of winter quarter of 2013. Our project's goal was to design a device that

would automatically test the strength of battery handles to failure. Our employer was Trojan

Battery Company and we were given twenty weeks to come up with an innovative design that

would be more efficient and time effective than the current model that was being employed at

their site

Bourns College of Engineering UCR BCOE

September 2012 – June 2013

Student Success Counselor

I was a Success Counselor here at UCR. A Success Counselor is a resource that BCOE has to

offer students that are trying to figure out a plan or approach that will help them be successful at

UCR. Whether a student needs help managing time, study habits, locating resources, or finding

motivation, we as success counselors can help him/her with these struggles so that they can

eventually graduate from BCOE and become a successful Engineer.

Volunteer Summer 2012

My dad is a sheet metal fabricator and in this summer I learned how to read blueprints, respond

to customer requests, and learn about the business through both observation and performance.
