Math. and Electrical Engineering

My name is Son Tran, who is a Vietnamese. I grew up in Vietnam with a high education that my parents wanted to see the success of their children. I finished my high school in 1981 and kept going to "enter" HochiMinh City University of Science in Saigon, Vietnam. After 4 years, I had my BS. degree in Nuclear Energy in 1985 with 3.98 / 4 GPA. Because I graduated with high GPA, my university promoted me as Math. Professor (1985 - 1989) in HoChiMinh City University of Science for teaching Linear Algebra, High Level Math. and Differential Equation.

I came to United States in 1989 and finished my second BS degree in Electrical Engineering in 1996 with 3.65 / 4 GPA from University of Houston - Downtown. A year after that, I was hired by Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI) as Electrical Engineer (1997 - 2011) who designed AC and DC electronic circuits boards and trained Technical and Technology courses for technicians and assemblers

I was laid off in 2011 by BHI. In this "rest" time (2 years), I decided to go back to school and registered for a Master degree from University of Wisconsin - Platteville. In 2012, i graduated and received a MS degree in Automation Control Engineering with 3.85 / 4 GPA. Fortunately, I was hired by Cameron International Inc. as Sr. Electrical Engineer (2013 - 2017) who had to designed Subsea Electrical Control Systems for BOP (Blow-Out Prevent) system and trained Surface and Subsea Control Systems for Manufacturing Engineers.

The Oil and Gas Industry of the world went down and I was laid off again. Finally, I decided to change my career field. Lone Star College Systems hired me as a Math. and Electrical Engineering Technology Professor who is teaching Calculus I, II, and III, College Algebra, and Basic Electrical Theory.

With 22+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering and with 9 big projects (value = $500 million / project), I always asked myself how I could handle them and got done my position in my previous companies? The answer is MATHEMATICS, which is the excellent foundation for anyone wants to "build" a good future. Usually, I encourage my students who want to learn Engineering should prepare for yourself a good Math. foundation. I believe I can be an excellent Math. teacher, instructor, or professor to "walk" together with you if you contact me for learning more and making schedule lessons.
