I assist in the professional development of the students, especially with regard to formulation of engineering problems. Most of the undergraduate engineering curricula focuses on developing problem-solving skills. However, these skills are increasingly becoming marginalized in the global marketplace, as the solutions to well posed engineering problems can now be purchased from off-shore firms staffed with well-educated, bright and hard-working professionals educated in essentially the same way that US students have been for decades. Consequently, increased emphasis in US engineering education must be placed upon the structuring of new engineering problems from otherwise unstructured challenges. This is the most difficult learning outcome to teach, most difficult to acquire, and most difficult to assess. Specifically, successful students will:Achieve some competency in critical thinking, creative problem-solving, communication and collaboration.Improve systems thinking, including the ability to formulate systems problems in an open-ended, unstructured milieu.

Scottsdale, Arizona

• Evaluated potable and waste water needs for rural communities• Developed technical reports, calculations, hydraulic / hydrologic modeling, and AutoCAD drawings• Performed vendor coordination and site visits • Identified opportunities to maximize municipal ROI including use of solar facilities, utility regionalization, and replatting

Tempe, Arizona

Leading coordination of support staff to improve operational systems, processes and policies in support of the awΣ mission- specifically in the realm of long-term planning and information reporting.

By encouraging a friendly and welcoming atmosphere I created not only a space that was inviting, but a space that people wanted to come to and make new friends. Through assisting in the training of new staff, the creation of drink menus, and exploring new ideas I kept the standards of our establishment high.

Through non-traditional education practices, I was able to enrich the science communication curriculum for several universities and industry partners including: Arizona State University, Stanford University, Purdue University, University College London, and Roku Incorporated. I strove to build an integrated community of performers, artists, musicians, engineers, and scientists that improves communication and creativity in each community.
