Colin Todd Email and Phone Number

I’m a B.S. Mechanical Engineering student at MSOE with numerous and diverse, hands-on, and team-based project experiences. I have high school internship experience at Scot Forge working on the production floor and metallurgy lab. Also devoting 8-10 hours a week to rock climbing club, club soccer, and intramural sports as a full-time student. I have skills in 3D Modeling, MATLAB, Arduino, and CNC machine operation. I am seeking a full-time internship and can be contacted at cktodd118@gmail.com or (224) 908-9802. From work and school experiences in high school is where I decided my career path of becoming a mechanical engineer. Starting early in my high school education I took several technology and engineering classes. One of which was 3D modeling and CAD, where I learned how to use my first 3D modeling program. Later, I took the PLTW Computer Integrated Manufacturing course where these modeling skills were applied to create objects using different methods of manufacturing. Another aspect of my decision in becoming a mechanical engineer was my experience at Scot Forge where I learned more about mechanical systems and the design of them.When on the search for colleges, my dad recommended going to school at MSOE considering he is an Alumni here. After looking into MSOE, it had many things I was looking for such as the hands-on work, small class sizes to get to know peers, and a great curriculum for mechanical engineering. Since then, I have been able to apply skills learned in high school through various team-based, hands-on projects here at MSOE. One example was in my modeling and design course where 2 group members and I collected data and improved a NERF gun’s firing capabilities. Also at MSOE, I am a part of the rock-climbing club and soccer club where I spend 8-10 hours a week participating in the sports. Outside of school, I had a great student intern opportunity in high school at Scot Forge for a little under 2 years. During this time, I worked in the machine shop, metallurgy lab, and maintenance department. Between these three departments I learned the basic functionalities of industrial machinery such as hydraulic presses, furnaces, quench tanks, and other mechanical systems. Also, how to operate CNC machines, construction equipment, and some of the industrial machines. I got hands on experience with problem solving needed repairs on the equipment and taught other student learners the knowledge I had gained. This experience allowed me to develop strong teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
