  Excellent communication skills, including explaining technical information in an easy-to-understand way.

  Strong knowledge of mathematics, with stellar problem solving and attention to detail skills.

  Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite; AutoCAD; MathCAD; MATLAB/Simulink; SolidWorks; and Engineering Equation Solver.

Bachelor of Science (BS), Mechanical Engineering, Baylor University Waco, TX; graduating May, 13 2016

  Earned the President s Gold Scholarship Award and currently maintain a 3.0 GPA.

  Courses: Systems, Modeling & Control; Machine Design; Thermodynamics; Heat Transfer; Mechanics of Materials; Dynamic Systems; Fluid Mechanics; Instrumentation & Measurements; Engineering Economics.

Vending Machine Project:

Worked with six other students to place No. 3 out of 15 projects based on the number of successful vends.

  Developed and constructed a miniature vending machine that dispensed small tools and parts.

  Designed, tested and built 3D printed parts; the mechanical vending mechanism; and the vending machine housing, including manufacturing a simple wire/coil design that would drop the tools.

SkyGrapple (Current Project):

Collaborating with eight other students to create a system that will use a floating claw to dispose of debris collected on a weir, which is a type of dam.

  Communicating with engineers at four different tower companies to secure bids on tower designs.

  Developing the support tower system, as well as its integration with the winch and pulley subsystems.

  Designing the pulley system to also act as a guide wire system.

Mechanical Engineering Intern, Idaho Milk Products Jerome, ID May 2015-Aug. 2015

  Learned production; quality assurance and quality control; systems control and automation; and mechanics during this valuable, hands-on internship.

  Wired control systems; calibrated most of the pressure sensors; maintained, operated and installed valves, pumps and variable frequency drives; and fixed tanks, dryers and mechanical components.

  Saved the company money on purchasing chemicals after identifying a flaw in the wastewater treatment process in which employees would open valves following spills and treat the water with chemicals.

  Implemented a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to keep the valve closed, so the next wash could naturally pH balance the system.

  Wrote a 50-page report on its wastewater treatment system and a recommended addition, including developing layout drawings and P&I diagrams using AutoCAD; creating systems models using sensor data and fluid mechanics analysis; and determining the systems energy usage and costs.

  Conducted a 45-minute oral presentation before seven department leaders or upper managers.

* During the summers of 2007 to 2014, performed as a Heavy Equipment Operator and Farmhand for Sky Dairies in Gooding, ID

Dear Hiring Manager:

I will be relocating soon to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, so with this letter, I wish to express my strong interest in joining your organization as a (INSERT SPECIFIC JOB TITLE HERE).

As demonstrated in the accompanying resume, I am a mechanical engineer with valuable, hands-on experience implementing solutions and exceeding goals. I possess excellent communication skills, including explaining technical information in an easy-to-understand way. I also have a strong knowledge of mathematics, with stellar problem solving and attention to detail skills. Additionally, I am proficient with Microsoft Office Suite; AutoCAD; MathCAD; MATLAB/Simulink; SolidWorks; and Engineering Equation Solver.

I completed a Mechanical Engineering Internship at Idaho Milk Products. In this role, I wired control systems; calibrated most of the pressure sensors; maintained, operated and installed valves, pumps and variable frequency drives; and fixed tanks, dryers and mechanical components. I also saved the company money on purchasing chemicals after identifying a flaw in the wastewater treatment process in which employees would open valves following spills and treat the water with chemicals. I implemented a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to keep the valve closed, so the next wash could naturally pH balance the system. Additionally, I wrote a 50-page report on its wastewater treatment system and a recommended addition, including developing layout drawings and P&I diagrams using AutoCAD; creating systems models using sensor data and fluid mechanics analysis; and determining the systems energy usage and costs.

I will graduate May 13, 2016 from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering. During my studies, I ve worked on two major projects. For example, I worked with fellow students to develop and construct a miniature vending machine that dispensed small tools and parts. I also designed, tested and built 3D printed parts; the mechanical vending mechanism; and the vending machine housing, including manufacturing a simple wire/coil design that would drop the tools. Our team placed No. 3 out of 15 projects based on the number of successful vends.

Currently, I am working with eight other students to create a system that will use a floating claw to dispose of debris collected on a weir, which is a type of dam. In this role, I communicate with engineers at four different tower companies to secure bids on tower designs. I also develop the support tower system, as well as its integration with the winch and pulley subsystems. Furthermore, I ve helped design the pulley system to also act as a guide wire system.

As your employee, you will find me to be a team player committed to exceeding your performance expectations. I have no doubt that I would be a valuable asset to your operations, and look forward to interviewing with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
