PROFILE
I am scheduled to graduate in May **** with a Bachelor of Mechancial Engineering [Honours] from the University of Limerick, Ireland. I am a US citizen and have previously worked in the US, Ireland and UK. I have 8 months engineering experience working as part of a design team and as a site engineer. I am highly proficient at using Solidworks, AutoCAD, Abaqus, MATLAB and the full suite of Microsoft Office. I enjoy the chance to challenge myself and gain experience from new opportunities. Other work experience includes many years bartending, developing strong people skills and construction work learning valuable technical skills and work ethic. I am eager to begin my professional career and seeking a graduate or entry level engineering job from May onwards.

EDUCATION
UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK, IRELAND.
BACHELOR OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - GRADUATING MAY 2020
During my degree I have completed the following courses: Thermodynamics, Fluid dynamics, Finite
Element Analysis, Mechanical Design, Statics, Dynamics, Vibrational Analysis, Computer Aided Design, Heat
Transfer, Industrial Organization, Materials, Instrumentation and Control.
I have received training in the following software as part of my course and I have advanced my knowledge
of them by utilizing them in coursework and during my placement.
Solidworks
Completed many projects on Solidworks throughout high school and college. Modelled assemblies with many moving parts such as a steam turbine. Preformed dynamic studies on airplane wings to find their vibrational nodes. Created physical models from Solidworks using CNC laser cutter. Produced technical drawings, parts lists and bills of materials from models.
Microsoft Office
Received ECDL cert after completing training in MS Excel. Utilized throughout college to compile data neatly and produce simple calculations or graphs. During placement I created a spreadsheet to produce hydraulic calculations for others to use. I frequently used Excel for administrative duties such as logging site cost. Delivered many PowerPoint presentations and was recognized for my communication skills.
MATLAB
Received training in first semester in college. Used later for performing advanced calculations, running simulations and producing graphs.
AutoCAD
Used on placement to read plant layouts and construction plans. Produced Process Flow Diagrams and technical drawings for design tender.
Abaqus
Capable of modelling and performing Finite Element Analysis on complex structures. Modeled and conducted stress analysis on a jet ski trailer to determine high stress locations and improved the design
