Andrea Alvarez Enriquez

Motivated second-year mechanical engineering student at Colorado State University with hands on experience in engineering design. Interested in applying engineering problem solving skills to agricultural, mechanical, and sustainable technology applications. Strong communicator and team member. Reliable and quick to learn, with a positive attitude and strong work ethic. Seeking an opportunity to contribute and grow in a dynamic team setting.

• 48 Hour Agricultural Engineering Challenge in partnership with CSU SPUR. Collaborated with a partner to identify and address a real-world agricultural challenge within a 48 hour engineering design competition. Interviewed and gathered feedback from a farmer to understand their needs and developed a practical user-focused solution. Applied engineering problem solving and design thinking to develop a proposed solution under a strict time constraint. Presented and showcased the final concept to judges for and opportunity to receive funding and continue development.
• MatLab Gaming Development Project. Collaborated with a team to design and code and interactive game using MATLAB and Arduino. Applied programming, problem solving, and engineering design principles to develop and troubleshoot the game. Presented and demonstrated the completed project as part of a class showcase.

• Water Crises Engineering Project. Collaborated with a team to design a water conserving livestock trough aimed to reduce water waste and improving environmental sustainability. Developed a water reuse system and filtration system to allow water to be recycled. Integrated Arduino based water level sensing to monitor trough and help prevent overfilling and unnecessary water loss. Designed and fabricated 3D printed components for the prototype and tested the system. Presented final prototype and engineering solution as part of a class project.
