WORK EXPERIENCE
• SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY (May 2011 to present)
GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT
In May 2011, I began graduate research at South Dakota State University. My research project involved analyzing the composite action of steel box truss towers in flexure. Testing was completed in the summer of 2011 in the Lohr Structures Lab at South Dakota State University. I used SAP2000 (a structural analysis program) to model the towers and evaluate the performance of the bolted connections. As part of my graduate research assistantship, I have been involved in other research projects, including testing of light frame wood shear walls under cyclic loading and testing of steel box truss towers in torsion.
• DAKTRONICS (May 2011 to Sept. 2011)
As a Mechanical Design Student at Daktronics, I used ProENGINEER to model sheet metal components of electronic video displays. I also designed a small number of parts. I used AutoCAD 2011to produce part drawings, and I occ...
