My most recent co-op was at Thornton Tomasetti. I worked on various projects within the construction industry. I analyzed architectural and mechanical drawings of a building to calculate cooling loads required by the AC unit. I also looked over reports by other construction consulting companies to identify inconsistencies that were used in a rebuttal report. I also had the opportunity of writing a cost-benefit analysis report for a new laser scanner meant for more accurate slab analysis of a building, leading to the purchase of that new laser scanner.

I worked on the CFM56 engine line at GE. I was on the engine services team, working on reducing the cost of engine repairs. My work was data analysis of engine repairs and identifying where costs can be reduced. I also communicated with customers regarding engine shipments of new engines and how the negative effects of delays can be mitigated.
