I'm a recent Bachelor of Engineering graduate with a degree in Mechanical Systems Engineering seeking to apply the foundation of theoretical and practical skills I've developed in a professional work environment as I make the transition into industry. I possess background experience in manufacturing environments and knowledge applicable to quality control, manufacturing processes, design theory and workplace safety.As an individual who was previously self-employed in the agriculture sector I have a strongly developed work ethic and understanding of the adaptive nature of executing and maintaining a competitive business operation. I look forward to expanding my professional network and future opportunities within the demanding field of Engineering.Testimonial"Perhaps what makes Andrew most remarkable as a student is his ability to make immediate connections between theory and practice. I believe this stems from Andrew’s unusual practical background. Rather than coming to the college straight from high school, as most of our students do, Andrew spent 15 years working in partnership with family members in the running of a dairy farm. This work involved the operation, maintenance and repair of a wide variety of equipment, some of whose basic physical principles overlapped with course topics. Andrew’s classmates clearly value his knowledge and skills from the real world, and Andrew participates seamlessly in group activities with his cohort, despite considerable differences in life experience."Conestoga College ITAL Professor Andrea Mills Ph.D.
