Aaron Smelsky Email & Phone Number

While starting my Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) I set very specific goals to expand my knowledge of computer aided design and aerodynamics. In doing so, I have grasped a great deal of understanding and concepts from teaching the design for manufacturing and assembly course at ERAU. In addition, my minor in CAD has given me experience various design aspect included 3D rapid prototyping with extensive use of CATIA V5. CAD work and aerodynamic design have become a passion of mine I am very interested in pursuing. My work teaching the DFMA course has given me practical knowledge of designing parts to be cost-effective and efficient. All of this has helped me develop an extensive base for applied CAD knowledge. My time at Dassault Falcon jet strengthened my team skills, either as lead or under supervision and I can just as easily work independently. I have developed a high level of, ambition and flexibility in conjunction with a motivation for team success, organization and multitasking.The various projects I have been apart of have expanded my knowledge in aerodynamics, aircraft performance, structures, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In combination with my practical skills in Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) I have a very wide knowledge of preliminary and detailed aircraft design aspects with a practical background in manufacturing and Computer Aided Design (CAD).Skills: Computer: CATIA V5 R20, NeiNastran, Femap 10.1.1, DFM/DFA (Boothroyd Dewhurst), Stratasys Insight 3D Rapid Prototyping, Simulink, Matlab, Ansys Fluent, VLAERO, Tecplot 360, Surfaces, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
