PROJECTS

Senior Design Fall 2014- Spring 2015

Design and build a Heat Exchanger Unit System for a Laboratory for the University of Texas Pan-American

In a group of undergraduate engineers we created a Mobile Finned Heat Exchanger Unit System to educate the future Engineering students in the fundamentals of heat exchangers

Constructed a Unit System that is in service with implemented safety procedures and maintains guidance for the instructor

Produce a lab manual with theoretical values and formulas that will guide the students to conduct the laboratory for the Heat Exchanger Unit System that was built

Research in heat exchangers so information is place together in a binder for future reference for engineering students

Finite Element Analysis Fall 2014

Build a 3D model in Solid Works and obtain stress analysis using program algor for a structure component (Tie down engineering home anchor)

Compare sanity check values to the analysis obtained from algor and confirm that values were acceptable

Design a improve structure component for better performance and decrease stresses HVAC Spring 2015

Derive the psychometric chart in excel and link cell for any variable change

Derive every angle for each hour of the year for the entire year with internal gains, infiltration, and sensible and latent for both variables

Prepared and copied documents for staff and installing posters throughout the campus for advertising

Entered new job postings and reviewed older postings on the departments online job posting site The University of Texas – Pan American: Mechanical Engineering Dept. Edinburg, Texas Intern Spring 2011

Gained insight on photovoltaic panels by working directly with cells to monitor their electrical outputs while logging that data for analysis

Administered soldered to laboratory equipment for student use in Mechanical Engineering laboratories

Developed a categorization plan for the laboratory equipment in order to increase the efficiency of tool finding amongst students and faculty

Stemilt, Modesto, California/Wanachi, Washington

Hard Laborer May 2001 – August 2007
