PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
Co-op Experience
At the University of Cincinnati, co-op is built in to our engineering programs. Because of this, students are required to take the initiative to find, research, and complete 5 cooperative experiences. Here is some information about the experiences I have had thus far:
Kinetic Vision Inc.
SPRING AND SUMMER 2020 CO-OP
During this double rotation I worked closely with the Embedded Software team at KV. In this role I got to cycle through a few different kinds of work. In the beginning I was solely n an embedded; Developing integration code for various environmental sensors. Then I began doing development part-time, and helping build up PCBs part-time. I really got to work with my hands and nail down some soldering techniques this way. I also began doing some Quality Testing for a customer. During these tests I would video record my process and then document the results in a testing sheet. I began a similar process with some Safety Testing for another team shortly after completing the Quality Testing. I was able to adapt and learn all of this all while dealing with COVID-19 starting in February. It was interesting getting used to the WFH or partial WFH style, but it was definitely a new and exciting experience.
GE Aviation (Engines)
SUMMER 2019 CO-OP
During this rotation I worked on the the new T-901 Engine Controls Team. While working on this team, I obtained a taste of what competitive sourcing looks like in the workplace, and different techniques to determine what kind of pricing is "good" pricing. I learned why requirements traceability is important for a business, and developed navigation abilities in such practices using IBM Rational DOORS. In addition to the previous tasks, I managed a team of 6 professionals and developed "score-card" methodology to keep the team on track with their various project tasks. Using this methodology we were able to determine blockers sooner, allowing us to stay on top of customer deadlines.
GE Aviation (Engines)
FALL 2018 CO-OP
During this rotation I worked on the Military Mission Based Team. While working on this team, I mainly worked on controls for testing systems. In this role, I learned how to develop programs using  LABVIEW coding. I also had the chance during this rotation to learn a lot more about what kinds of interesting work can be done on the military side of aircraft work.
GE Aviation (Systems)
SPRING 2018 CO-OP
While working on this rotation I was responsible for updating and developing 10 "Advanced Courses in Engineering" training modules for the Edison Program, which is GE Aviation's masters program. In this role I had to stay persistent when reaching out to experts in the fields of which I had to create the training modules in. During this rotation, I worked extensively with the Storyboard software to create stimulating and interactive training modules. While on this rotation I learned a lot about what the differences between Aviation Systems and Aviation Engines. I also had the opportunity to network with many subject matter experts.
