Jeffrey K. Parkhurst
Driven senior engineering student with both design and analysis experience. Qualifications include stress, critical point analysis, aircraft design and aerodynamic analysis; as well as programming experience in basic C, Labview, VBA and Matlab. Completed 4 design projects while meeting deadlines with respect to both time and cost. Ability and willingness to pick up any extra skills needed quickly. Works well in groups but is also self motivated to complete any project both on time and to exceptional quality.
