Summary:

As a Mechanical Engineer, I possess the ability to conceptualize all aspects of a project from its inception through its conclusion while still being able to maintain both budgetary and timeline constraints. Additionally, I firmly believe that my real strengths are in diagnostics and troubleshooting which will provide my prospective employer a vital asset.

Accomplishments & Relevant Courses:

+Two years automotive : Diagnostics & Fundamentals

+Hybrid skills and knowledge of a mechanic & engineer

Core Engineering

+Thermal Systems, Heat transfer, Fluid dynamics, Thermodynamics, Dynamics, Statics

Machine design, Mechanism design, Strength of Materials, Dynamic systems and control I (classic)

Software

+Fluent in: AutoCAD, MS Office, Pro-E, MathCAD, MatLAB

Volunteership :High Tech, Addison, IL Oct 2010-Nov

Mechanic

+Inspected vehicles for diagnostic examination and root cause analysis.

+Implemented skills learned in auto and engineering classes to properly diagnose and repair problems and concerns.

+Repaired items that would normally be scrapped, therefore reducing cost. Example: cutting drums or rotors.

+Maintained cleanliness of work area, while practicing safety in my work activities.

+Replaced wearable items that could not be replaced.

+Acted responsibly to report problems, suspictions or irregularities out of my realm of control.

United Technologies Corporation :Hamilton Sundstrand, Rockford, IL April 2011-Current

Project Engineer, Contractor

+Implemented skills learned into recommending improvements or corrective action during technical and improvement meetings.

+Inspected engineering drawings for consistency.

+Reviewed project reports and improved their quality for pneumatic starters.

+Adept with the 5S methodology - Maintained safe protective practices when entering shop and cleanliness of work area.

+Wrote test procedures for jet fuel pumps.

+Redlined documentation, keeping it updated with up to minute changes.

+Oversaw testing of actuation vane pump in test lab stand

+ Performed hysteresis trending in critical pressure regulating valve

+ Conducted boost stage performance trending on pump

Education:

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Northern Illinois University, DeKalb IL

Academic Projects:

+Driveshaft project: analyzed driveshaft whirl (deflection at critical speed). The team used a signal conditioner, and On Board Diagnostics-2 interface. Used software to data log parameters, then did Fast Fourier Transforms to reach conclusions.

+Resource reduction team put torture a community of homes that relied on much less water and electricity. This project successfully integrated water tanks, solar heaters, geothermal, and wind turbines.

+Statics team produced a MatLAB program which calculated joint locations for maximum simulated load. Once maximum load was established the truss project was built to specifications, and then tested until failure. This project took us all the way from calculations to prototype build, through testing and failure.

Electives : One year of Electronics, Reliability, Dynamic Systems and Controls 2, Mechatronics
