Newark, De, Us

Performing duties related to Tribology research in respect to cartilage with methods based on Mechanical Engineering properties. Includes: preparation, execution, and analyzing data of different experiments with custom equipment and programs.

Reach Out Chair aims to not only aid in EWB's international reach, but also to make sure the group focuses on service in the local community. Communicating with non-profits, local businesses, and groups to better our culture, charity, and community reach.

Wilmington, De, Us

Responsible for handling overflow work typical of that of a project engineer. Duties included: direct communication with subcontractors, managing and evaluating of everyday activities on the job site, RFI documenting, LOI drafting, field surveying, inspections with DSHA and the city of Wilmington, punch list creation and execution, and other activities necessary for construction management. An example of a typical day included coordinating with multiple subcontractors to fire proof previous work over the three separate job sites by a specified date so that a unit, floor, or entire building could be inspected and approved as fire rated while also creating on-going punch lists for future work.
