I perform chemical engineering duties within the JETS II contract at Jacobs. I get to complete work for NASA's Johnson Space Center, focusing on multiple projects at once.

Terre Haute, Indiana, United States

As a Learning Center Supervisor, not only do I maintain all my tasks and obligations as a LC tutor, but I now have more responsibilities. I must attend at least one (but more like two) evening sessions of tutoring in a week. I have paperwork and surveys to complete to make sure tutors and tutees are interacting and behaving appropriately. I also help organize quarterly tutor meetings and will play a more active role in the review sessions hosted at the end of each quarter before finals.

Terre Haute, Indiana, United States

As a Learning Center Tutor at Rose-Hulman I have opportunities to assist my peers in engineering, science, and writing classes. I primarily tutor freshman and sophomore level classes such as calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, differential equations, conservation principles and balances, thermodynamics, and heat and mass transfer. Since I am a writing tutor I also have the opportunity to edit papers and senior theses. This job is an excellent way for me to help other people unlock the skills they did not know they had. Nothing is more rewarding than watching a student begin to understand how to work problems on their own.

In this role I was tasked with finding the best methods to use to hydrogenate organic molecules such as long-chain dicarboxylic acids. I experimented with catalysts such as Pd/C, Pt/C, and Raney Nickel to fully saturate oleic acid. I used a continuous shell-and-tube fixed bed reactor which was controlled through Delta V. Temperatures around 95 Celsius and pressures around 100psi with a 20:1 (by mass) mixture of sand:Pd/C will allow for the best chance of saturation of LCDA.

Clinton, Iowa, United States

In this role I was able to focus on a unit optimization project in the ethanol production department of ADM Clinton Corn Processing. The overall project goal was to minimize the water concentration in the overflow stream from the fusel oil decanter. This project involved brainstorming, troubleshooting, and problem-solving as I uncovered new information about the decanter. I was able to make decisions directly affecting the process which ultimately improved the process. After two months I successfully reduced the water concentration in the overflow stream by about 4% and left several recommendations for future steps to take to bring the water concentration down further.While in this role I also practiced performance excellence routines such as continuous improvement, focused improvement, and workplace organization. I participated in DMAIC problem-solving sessions, 5-Why investigations, and safety engagements as a part of my standard work.
