104 Thornton Mechanical Engineering Tutors

...I studied Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in the mid 1980s, graduating in 1988. Systems Engineering is a general engineering discipline which combines the concepts of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science. My education included classes in mechanical engineering, physics, material science, and product... read more

...I have a bachelor of science and master's of science in mechanical engineering and have worked at NASA for over 10 years where I have created designs for spacecraft that were highly dependent on my knowledge of mechanical engineering. Especially, statics, dynamics and heat transfer.... read more

...I also voluntarily used it as my program of choice in grad school, so I used Mathematica to write code to discretely solve partial differential equations, use a genetic optimization algorithm to solve for an optimal solution, and so forth. To tutor how to use Mathematica, I would make sure the student understood proper coding techniques to write... read more

...s a licensed Secondary Math teacher, I have taught in various middle and high school classrooms across the Front Range area and have tutored for the last four years in all levels of high school math, including statistics. I also have endorsements from the State of Colorado in Spanish and French. I find that multiple representations are key to gaining... read more

...I then analyzed and documented frequency response of NuTeV calorimeter wave-shifting bars using Matlab and SimuLink At Fermi National Accelerator Lab, I identified need for and oversaw (1 graduate and 2 undergraduate student) soft/hardware upgrade (with full documentation) of power supply control (PSC) for NuTeV bending magnets. I have a MS in Physics... read more
