- Develop forging designs based on customers needs using computer aided design, Solidworks- Implement design changes based on production or customer needs- Run simulation software to develop quality forging designs- Communicate with customers, production, and quality to develop quality and efficient forging designs.

My first summer internship I was placed in the Plant Engineering department where I helped maintain and upgrade existing equipment. This was in forms of guarding hazards and integrating ergonomically safety. My second summer internship I wroked with New Products Development team, where I was tasked on setting up an assembly line and perparing it for the new product. I also gained experience with taking time studies and analyzing them.
