Tutored college students in a variety of Physics and Mathematics including Newtonian Physics, Electromagnetic Physics, Trigonometry, Calculus 1, 2, & 3, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. -Introduced beginner computer logic to students interested in learning coding. -Trained students in the approach for SAT/ACT standardized tests as well review the necessary mathematical knowledge to succeed.

Our interdisciplinary team of five Mechanical Engineers and two Electrical Engineers designed and built an RC aircraft to be flown at competition. The winner was selected on both presentation of the team's design process as well as the performance of the aircraft in the field. Our 13 lb, 9ft wingspan aircraft successfully carried an 18 lb payload to finish in the top 25% of competing teams. The LSU mechanical engineering professors awarded our team with the Best Capstone Design Report Award.

* Investigated accident sites and damaged vehicles using a surveying total station, photo documentation, and friction tests, among an assortment of other equipment. * Created documents about each incident using data acquired from the site, kinematic equations, CAD programs to recreate the event, and extensive research on the vehicles. * Spearheaded the company vehicle modification project.
