ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE
Summer Engineering Intern, Martin Engineering, Neponset, IL Summer 2016
Tested and evaluated 4-6 chemical products to determine the impact on dust suppression in a power plant using coal/limestone/copper metals and minerals. Tests resulted in a 10% reduction in weekly water usage.
Compiled and analyzed data to evaluate best products for the company, and utilized SolidWorks to develop Technical drafts to showcase a portable machine to measure dust containment in a manufacturing setting.
Developed technical, teamwork, and communication skills. Took initiative in assuming staff support to lighten department workload.
Development Engineering Intern, Jancy Engineering, Davenport, IA Summer 2015
Developed a measurement device to evaluate the tolerances and geometric angles of drill bits to be used in the quality control process.
Troubleshoot electromagnets using a volt meter and caliper to assess possible failure issues with parts from a new supplier. Determined magnets were performing correctly but there was a problem with the installation. Verbally reported findings to head of engineering for follow-up.
