objective
Third year mechanical engineering student who is a quick-leaner and cooperative which makes it easier to work in teams, has hands on knowledge acquired through lab experiments (both individual and team work) as well as group projects which gave the basis of what engineering in the real world is. As my outstanding results can prove, I am a hard worker who is willing to work even more to help with the excellence of the company. Some of the experiments, research materials and projects already taken include:
- Solar energy as a viable source of energy (Research paper, which showed the ability to work as a team member)
- Rail car design (Manufacturing project, which included the design of a small rail car for a rope pulling competition)
- Beam design (Group project whose objective was to design (model) a beam that is strong enough to replace the existing design, it had to be durable and light weight, thus saving repair costs for a long period of time.)
- Playground design ( This project included the modelling of the palyground in a community where it deemed necessary.)
- Refrigeration cycle lab, the water jet lab, as well as some more of the basic thermodynamic cycle like the heat cycle,
