Objective

To obtain a permanent position upon graduation at a well-established engineering firm,

preferably in the Western United States.

Qualifications

To be a successful and valuable engineer in today’s world, one must have good teamwork,

communication, and leadership skills to go along with engineering experience and education.

I believe that I possess all three of these qualities, as well as the necessary experience and

education to succeed as an engineer.

Currently, I am working on my Senior Design Project, which consists of designing and building

a real-time garage guidance system for a client in Tucson, AZ. I am the team leader of the group,

which consists of four members. The project budget is $150, so we have to implement mostly

used parts, including a GameBoy, which we will reprogram as the display device, and some

LaserTag lasers and detectors, used to detect if the vehicle is off course. This project has been

quite challenging so far, but it has been a good experience working as part of a team. As the team

leader, I have seen both the struggles and successes of our team, especially in communication. It

has been difficult at times to coordinate everyone's schedules and get everyone heading in the same

direction, but it has been worthwhile. The project is coming along nicely and will be ready to

demonstrate in April.
