• Assigned projects involving installing thermocouples near specific locations of diesel and electrictest vehicles and monitoring their temperatures throughout Summer Test. • Analyzed relevant thermocouple data of product designs and materials through CANape and presented results with recommendations to design engineers. • Ensured the CANcases on several prototype semi-trucks collected accurate measurements before test drives. • Constructed a wire harness for a test truck for data communication between CANcases and the computer. • Utilized Siemens NX CAD software to design a versatile plate for permanent installation of testing equipment, adaptable for both Short-Sleepers and Day-Cab trucks.

Throughout this internship, students will design, build, and test simulated flight hardware, gain experience in NX CAD modeling, electronic prototyping, additive manufacturing, coding, and environmental testing that relate to space missions.• Designed with fellow Mechanical Engineers an Infrared Instrument while meeting strict project and size requirements.• Used Python, Visual Studio Code, and library software's to create and analyze a Heat Map using data captured from Arduino software. • Created engineering drawings following the GD&T standards of instrumentation using Siemens NX.• Presented the prototype, systems overview, and instrument requirements to a panel of program mentors.• Collaborated in a multidisciplinary team of six to plan and follow a Gantt Chart, organize tasks, communicate Status Updates, and present our project together.

The NASA L'SPACE Mission Concept Academy is a 12-week academy designed to provide unique, hands-on learning and insight into the dynamic world of the space industry. Students receive mission development skills training each week from NASA scientists and engineers and collaborate with other students to design a mission-related team project.Lead Scientist and Materials Engineer for Team Vanguard with NASA L'SPACE MCA September 2020-December 2020• Collaborated in a team of 9, virtually, to plan our deadlines, organize tasks, and elaborate on ideas.• Evaluated instrumentation from reports and designs for conformance to engineering requirements and mission standards.• Researched properties of metals and recommended top materials to fit mission requirements that led to saving weight for science instrumentation.• Ensure deliverables from designated groups are completed according to project deliverables and acts as a liaison between the other groups.• Assisted in writing Preliminary Design Review report and science performance requirements for instruments to prepare for review.

• Organized and set up chemical equipment that would be used in labs. • Safely created chemical solutions for high school lab experiments.• Properly disposed final products after experiment and cleaned equipment.

• Communicated with team to serve and deliver food to guests and properly cleaned areas.• Resolved costumer complaints using effective communication.

• Collaborated with Michael Sheppard to design age appropriate engineering projects for Big Sky Learning STEM Summer Camp.• Designed electrical circuits for element of speaker engineering project.• Created and tested three engineering projects for ease of use.• Assisted in writing technical instruction manual describing project for camp participants.

• Completed multi-day training and received safety certification in using mechanical tools. • Ensured projects worked correctly to promote student learning. • Supervised and trained up to five children to safely use mechanical tools to complete engineering projects.
