Team Members Throughout the Design 4 Practice sequence of engineering design courses, students work on projects in teams to gain practical teamwork experience. In the final design course, ME 486, our project gave us a realistic setting in which to develop our oral and written communication skills, and to apply our technical skills to the product design process. We are a team of four Mechanical Engineering undergraduates at Northern Arizona University, located in Flagstaff, Arizona. From left to right in the photo, we are: Josh Spears, Andrew Boone, Robert Burke, and Ryan Hirschi. Profiles and Resumes are available below.

	Josh Spears. Team Responsibilities: Electrolyzer, Thermodynamic Analysis. Josh will receive a B.S.E in Mechanical Engineering in May of 2003, He will continue his education in the Tri-University Masters program, focusing on Technical Engineering Management. Josh is currently employed by Northern Arizona University as a Project Management Intern. Future plans consist of seeking employment as a project engineer. Resume of Josh Spears.
