Nicholas Jeffs, EIT

Senior Design Project

• Leading a supervised team in designing a public library that addresses social, environmental, and technical challenges.
• Utilized Revit, AutoCAD, and WaterGEMS to develop detailed architectural designs, conduct structural analyses, and optimize water distribution systems.
• Creating comprehensive reports and presentations to effectively communicate design methodologies and outcomes to stakeholders.

Hydrology & Water Resources

• Utilized MATLAB for hydrologic data analysis, including terrain mapping, radiation flux evaluation, and time-series visualization.
• Examined relationships between topography, solar radiation, and hydrologic processes to support water resource planning.
• Conducted simulations to evaluate watershed behavior, including runoff, infiltration, and climate interactions.

Reinforced Concrete Design

• Led the design and construction of concrete beams, ensuring adherence to project specifications and regulatory standards.
• Conducted comprehensive strength tests on concrete specimens using industry-standard testing methods and equipment.
• Analyzed test results to assess material properties and inform design decisions, ensuring structural reliability and compliance with engineering standards.
• Applied engineering principles to assess structural stability and performance under various loading conditions, informing design modifications as necessary to optimize safety and efficiency.

Foundation Design: 

• Developed expertise in analyzing soil properties, load-bearing capacities, and foundation types through hands-on projects and case studies.
• Proficient in applying industry standards and codes to design safe and cost-effective foundations for various construction projects.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret geotechnical reports, conduct site investigations, and recommend appropriate foundation systems for optimal structural performance.
