Teach a class of 40+ students twice a week the importance and relevance of engineering graphics in engineering. I was in charge of designing their semester project which was a four cylinder flame eating engine. I was also held accountable for creating assignments and tests. Along with grading said assignments and tests.

I am mostly responsible for designing and implementing transitions for turbochargers with CAD software, mainly, SolidWorks. I help to install, test, and remove turbochargers that come into our shop. I also train new employees to become familiar with NGML standards.

My main responsibility was to be a design engineer and a machinist that could then create the designed parts. I also assisted with assembling hydraulic systems on the earth shaking vehicle.
