I created testing standards alongside senior engineering staff to qualify LED highway lighting hardware for field installation. These testing standards were meant to prove field viability for several metrics which include but are not limited to weather resilience, electrical grid compatibility, and energy consumption and light output confirmation. Our goal was to give the Ohio Department of Transportation and the tax payers of the State of Ohio at least a 50% savings in energy. We also aimed to produce a lean maintenance staffing need based on the reliability of the proposed hardware.I also learned and worked on projects related to: - Materials testing and analysis- Metelurgical forensics- Remote Sensing- Highway Lighting - Ground Resistance Testing- Tunnel Fire Safety and Emergency Lighting- Interchange Design- Intersection Design - Interchange Ramp Clear- Interchange Simulation- Limited Access Control- Work Zone Analysis- Field Study and research related to guard rail, concrete barrier, and cable barrier- Field Study and research of markings and raised pavement markers- Collaboration with Ohio Department of Natural Resources
