Dear Hiring Executive,
With a Masters in Engineering Management a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering and Graduate Level Certifications in systems engineering, design of experiments and six sigma; University of Dayton’s engineering program has prepared me to plan, design, optimize and direct complex programs, processes and systems. Engineering concepts and use of quantitative methodologies for solving problems is more than my career, it is my passion. Here are a few highlights of my engineering background: Oversaw and directed teams of 4 engineering students on numerous projects Led Process Control Project which was awarded top project by Professor of Engineering School Designed 28 factorial experiment resulting in best possible outcome Developed process and procedural strategies which lead to process efficiencies and reduced future project timelines Directed 10 projects from development, design, programming, implementation and analysis
These highlights are a mere representation of my skills; the attached resume shows my accomplishments in greater detail. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my abilities align well with your company; call me at 847-***-**** to set up a time for us to speak.
Kind Regards,
