RELEVANT GENERAL SKILLS WILLING TO RELOCATE
Degreed in Mechanical and Ocean Engineering with a minor in Nuclear Engineering. Working towards a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering with only a paper left to finish my degree. Have acquired extensive experience in using Solid Works as well as experience solving Statics, Linear control systems, Differential Equations, Composite material structural analysis, Finite element analysis, Elasticity, Heat Transfer, Acoustics, Wave mechanics and littoral processes, and Nuclear fission problems. Attained a general understanding of Visual Basic and Arduino programming skills as well as the use of MatLab. Proficient in English and Spanish as well as able to use Microsoft Office.
RELEVANT COURSE WORK
Mechanical Design
Designed multiple mechanical systems with Solidworks. Final project was modeling a working engine.
Mechanical senior capstone design
Came up with multiple designs and built a single belt system
System was used to transport a radiation detector through the core of a nuclear reactor
Was in charge of the Solidworks designs
Ocean systems design
Worked with one other group member to design an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Built the vehicle prototype and then refined it to make a final product
Programmed the vehicle to run through an obstacle course using PIC/Arduino
Ocean senior capstone design
Worked with 14 other engineering students to design and produce a buoy
The buoy served as a docking station for underwater vehicles to recharge their batteries
Electronics team leader
Programmed the GUI and chips as well as wired all the electronics
Mechatronics
Became familiarized with VisualBasic and Arduino
Programmed a stepper motor to oscillate back and forth
Made multiple programs for Arduino and VB to communicate
Final project was a mini SONAR which used an oscillator, stepper motor, and mini speakers
Real Time Monitoring & Control
Made an oscilloscope in VB
Made a client and server program which would communicate back and forth
oThe programs would both send and receive inputs and outputs to switch cases for different functions
Final project was to run a rotary table program and have real time graphing of the position of the rotary table.
oAll the information was sent through a client and server program.
