A New Dawn, Another Adventure

Jan. 15, 2015  Greg

I have been working for Ford Motor Company for the past 4 months as a prototype engineer on the new 2016MY F650/750 line. Learning and experiencing all the different aspects going from design into launch and manufacture.



Welcome

May 21, 2013  Greg

This site has been designed to post my acomplishments, projects, and resumé.

Recently graduated with my bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering with an Engineering Management minor. Recieved results from the Fundimentals of Engineering exam from this spring (FE) and I have passed. I now have the EIT (Engineer in Training) designation.

I have posted a link to my senior project (Steel Bar Implant - Wireless Transmission).
Pectus Excavatum (sunken chest) is generally corrected by a steel bar being implanted in a patient's chest for 2-3 years, but doctors have no way of knowing when is the right time to remove it. Our group proved conceptually and designed an ideal wireframe for an RFID system combined with strain gauges to inform doctors when the bar was no longer under strain and thus ready to be removed. This was done through the WISP system which was designed by Intel and is powered entirely off the incoming wireless signal. I designed the website and came up with the basis of the idea. Feel free to browse the site.

I have several projects which I have been working on over the summer and
planning for this winter. Working on rebuilding a small go-kart engine with what I recently learned in High Performance Piston Engines. Check the portfolio and resumé for updates.


I have posted my rewriten notes from Calculus 2/3, Differetial Equations, and Thermodynamics in pdf format on this site. Find links below or full story under the portfolio. Use at your own disgression!

"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - Alan Kay

"The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"
- Carl Sagan - 'A Glorious Dawn' ft Stephen Hawking (Symphony of Science)
