I am a retired Electro-Mechanical Engineer. I worked for 20 years researching and inventing new methods of solving very difficult problems the US Navy is faced with.

In my education, I first studied Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University earning a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. My course work in engineering included stress analysis, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, machine design, electrical and electronic engineering. The math requirements included calculus, differential equations, vector calculus, and linear algebra. Later, I attended graduate school at Drexel University and graduated with a Masters of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with a specialty in advanced automatic controls and systems. This degree required three advanced engineering mathematics courses that included, differential equations, partial differential equations, vector calculus, calculus of variations, and linear algebra. The course work in engineering for this degree included advanced concepts in control theory that includes very advance analytically and algorithmic development using linear algebra, differential equations, calculus of variations, and calculus based statistics (stochastics).

My employer also brought Drexel University professors to my work and provided an additional degree Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering. The course work for this degree included signal processing, robotics, systems and controls and discrete mathematics. After completing this degree, I took additional graduate courses in adaptive controls, nonlinear controls, and artificial neural networks. In addition, this past year I attended a teaching certification program at Temple University and received a certification to teach math and science in Pennsylvania.

Approved Subjects

Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I have completed extensive coursework throughout my undergraduate and graduate engineering degrees. The focus of my master's degrees was in systems and controls. This requires a thorough knowledge of differential equations including Laplace and Forier transforms.
Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I have a master's degree in electrical engineering. My main area of focus in work was pattern recognition, adaptive controls, robotic, automatic controls, image processing, machine intelligence among others. I also have a BS and MS in mechanical engineering. I have extensive knowledge with analogue and digital circuits as well.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

During my undergraduate coursework I took Linear Algebra. In graduate school I was required to take three courses in Advanced Engineering Mathematics which included intense review of Linear Algebra. In my graduate major I used Linear Algebra extensively to find eigenvalues, eigenvectors, determinants, matrix rank, transpose, inverse, Gausian Elimination Algorithm among many other manipulations.
MATLAB

MATLAB

I wrote many programs, including pattern recognition, neural networks, and genetic algorithm using MATLAB and Simulink. During my graduate degrees I wrote MATLAB programs to control space vehicles using Linear Quadratic Regulator and Estimator. I also used MATLAB to model and control systems using adaptive control schemes. In my MSME theses I modeled and developed a controller for an inverted pendulum, which I converted to a reality using a Labview program. I also used MATLAB and Simulink to model the arresting gear used by the Marine Corp. to arrest aircraft.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I have a BSME, MSME, and MSEE. I have a thorough understanding of fluid mechanics, vibration mechanics, dynamics, statics and dynamics. In my undergraduate studies, I have taken courses in thermodynamics, gas dynamics, heat transfer, design of internal combustion engines, and power plant design. I have worked in several positions that required calculation of beam deflection (to determine fundamental resonant frequency) and stress analysis.
