Experience

• 

  California State University, Fullerton

  Feb 2013 - Dec 2014

  I assisted the professor with grading homework and exams of mechanical engineering undergraduate students, and assigned scores and letter grades on spreadsheet software. I designed an experiment to test the fuel efficiency and emissions of a single-cylinder engine with biodiesels and alternative fuels, and collected the results using data acquisition software. I presented our research at the Spring 2014 Western States Section/Combustion Institute Conference at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
