Angel Rodas

• Participated in regular meetings to discuss aspects of research and experiments.
• Leveraged multiple CAD, CAM, FAE, and programming languages to achieve goal in a timely manner.
• Developed top-level skills in collaboration, interpersonal communication, leadership, and writing through hands-on work and training.
• Cooperated and organized others in team-based environment to find solutions to engineering design and manufacturing challenges.
• Aided in the coordination of guest speakers presenting their work for lab edification
• Happily participated in lab outreach events to help STEM participation in underrepresented demographics

As a Student Peer Advisor I have:

• Advised students individually and in groups on academic programs for individual interests.
• Pointed students to relevant information about academic and personal support services available on campus.
• Helped students develop organizational, time management and study skills.
• Worked with individuals to help understand and overcome personal, social or behavioral problems affecting educational or vocational situations.
• Spoke at multiple events, including but not limited to orientation, decision day, and transfer student day, as a spokesperson for the department and resource for student success.

• Conducted Field Duties, Pipeline Design, Acquiring Permits for Projects, Project Cost Analysis, Estimates, Customer Service
• Maximized efficiency by coaching and mentoring personnel on management principles, industry practices, company procedures, and technology systems.
• Introduced new methods, practices, and systems to reduce turnaround time.
• Monitored financial performance, set budgets and controlled expenses to provide financial stability and long-term organizational growth.
• Formulated policies and procedures to streamline operations.

• Collaborated with small team of engineers brainstorming engineering solutions to the electric race car in development
• Analyzed and designed race car components satisfy club needs and goals
• Heavy use of SolidWorks for design and analysis of components
• Projects
• Car Driver-side Sprocket Redesign
• Reconstructed a drive-side sprocket for the UC Davis Formula E Racing Club using SolidWorks
• Virtual Black Jack in MATLAB
• Worked with a team of three other engineers we recreated the card game blackjack in Matlab that is able to be across multiple remote devices
• Programmed the section of code which formatted and transmitted user data to ThingSpeak so players could play remotely
• Developed the algorithms needed to code game mechanics into Matlab
• C-17 Longitudinal Dynamic Stability Report
• Communicating and collaborating with multiple engineers I authored a report characterizing the
• Longitudinal Dynamic Stability response of the C-17 Globemaster to various inputs
• Used Matlab to visualize corresponding data and provide ideas for improvement towards desired criteria by simulating different responses to the same input while varying controllable parameters
• Ambient Light Meter
• Lead a Team of three engineers in the creation of a Photosensitive Light Meter
• Used a Photoresistor to gauge ambient light level, a low-pass filter to clean the analog signal, Analog to Digital Converter for processing and converting the analog input signal to the needed digital signal for the Seven Segment Display to show a dynamic measure of the ambient light level.
