Michael Garelick is good at looking at the big picture. He has had past leadership experience through various volunteer and work roles. He makes sure that every calculation is carefully approached so that there is never a question of accuracy. Michael has three years of SolidWorks and Matlab experience and thoroughly enjoys utilizing the tools for his engineering projects. As a perfectionist, Michael ensures that mistakes are minimized throughout the team effort. He makes a great team player that is sensible, compassionate, and enthusiastic.
Keith Caton is the web master and vice project manager for the Pipe Loss Capstone team. Keith's studies in fluid mechanics and his understanding of programming (mainly MatLab), control systems, and drive to always do his best will be of great benefit to the team and the project. His experience with HTML and CSS designing his own web pages is the reason Keith took on the web master role as well as his background with Northern Arizona University's Information Technology department. Keith as also taken on MatLab simulations for the project.
Cole Nielsen is a senior mechanical engineering student at Northern Arizona University. He is experienced in the pipe flow field as he has taken the class that utilizes the outdated table for experiments and research. He has also interned for a water filtering company that is very familiar with water flow, using pumps and fittings to transport water to the filters that are manufactured there. He has some experience with solid works pipe routing features and structure layouts. Has plenty of experience with teams from various classes in his college career. Works well with others and enjoys debate to maximize thought processes to ensure that the best solution is found.
Mark Frankenberg is the budget liaison for the Pipe Loss Capstone team. He has past experience working with engineering teams and knows how best to work with various personality types. Mark is a motivated individual who is willing to complete any necessary task to further the project and to stay on schedule. He can utilize his knowledge, from various engineering courses, to benefit many aspects of this project.
