Laura
Addessio will graduate from Northern Arizona University
with a B.S.E. degree in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics in
December 2003. Laura has had experience in the field of Materials Science. Last
summer, she worked in the Materials Science and Technology (MST) division in
the Structure/Property Relations group (MST-8) of Los Alamos National Laboratory.
There she did metalography, materials testing, post-test analysis under microscope
and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and modeling of the testing. Her undergraduate
coursework has or will include: Materials Science, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer,
Aerodynamics, FEA, AutoCAD and Fluid Mechanics.
Howard
Bailey will graduate with a B.S.E. in Mechanical
Engineering, a B.A. in Spanish, and a minor in Mathematics in May 2003 from
Northern Arizona University. Howard has a strong background in the theory and
practice of fabrication and manufacturingt with special emphasis on machining
and welding processes. His computer skills include proficiency with SDRC I-Deas,
Solid Edge, SURFCAM, and MathCAD. He has completed courses on the following
subjects: Manufacturing Technology, Advanced CAD/CAM, Machine Design, Numerical
Analysis, Finite Element Analysis, and Mechanical Vibrations. He also anticipates
completing courses on the following topics before graduating: Advanced Applied
Mechanics with Elasticity, Kinematics and Synthesis, and Mechanics of Composite
Materials.
