WORK EXPERIENCE
January 2002 - present         Department of Mechanical Engineering,
                               Mississippi State University
Work Title:
    Design Engineer/Graduate Research Assistant
Work description: 
    Team member of the vehicle frame research funded by Ford Motor Co.
    Finite Element Modeling using SDRC IDEAS 9, Algor FEA, and ANSYS
    used to modify and analyze the structure of an automobile for 
    the purpose of weight reduction and increase stiffness.  Main area of
    focus was joints in an automobile specifically rocker and T joints. 
    Involved in design, implementation and documentation phase.

August 2000 - January 2001     Cooper Lighting HID, Vicksburg MS
Work Title:
    Mechanical Engineering Co-op (Product testing Lab assistant)
Work Description:
    Worked in the Engineering department in the Product Testing Lab and
    also with Product Design Engineers. Performed several tasks including:
    * Quality assurance tests (Heat, Rain, Salt Spray, Impact, Pull,
      Vibration) on lighting fixtures to see if the fixtures met the
      requirements for Cooper and UL (Underwriters Laboratory) standards.
    * Using the results from the Laboratory tests, I helped the Engineers
      in designing standard lighting fixtures (using Auto-Cad, and SDRC:
      IDEAS Drafting).
    * Design work included drawing preliminary sketches of fixtures in
      Auto-cad and IDEAS SDRC.

Spring 1998 - 2001 (part-time) Diagnostic Instrumentation Analysis 
                               Laboratory (DIAL), Starkville, MS
Work Title:
    Research Lab Assistance
Work Description:
    Data Analysis using lasers and optics for the purpose of finding
    the composition of various glass samples by using specially 
    made computer programs, MS-Excel, and Quattro pro. Mechanical 
    Engineering related work: Using Auto-cad, I created preliminary
    drawings for "safety setups" of several laser experiments.
    Using the Lathe and Drill machines, I created the "safety setups."
