To Whom It May Concern,

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado-Denver with a Bachelor of Science degree

in mechanical engineering. I thrive on solving complex problems, analyzing data, and investigating and

applying new solutions. The engineering program has strengthened my engineering skills while

emphasizing a focus on biomechanics, new product design, and lean manufacturing. I worked nearly

full time while in school and was able to graduate with minimal debt while still maintaining strong

grades. These experiences have allowed me to prove myself as a driven and focused worker willing to

do whatever it takes to succeed.

In addition to being a devoted engineer, I also strive to be a respected leader and altruistic

team member. Through a multitude of management and leadership positions, from varsity captain to

project oversight, I have learned how to use my strengths and skills to cultivate strong teams as both

a passionate director and valued colleague. One recent opportunity I had to demonstrate these skills

was as the nominated astronomy club president responsible for fundraisers, community charity

events, and club activities.

I recently had an opportunity to showcase my engineering knowledge and skills through the

design and manufacture of a diesel prototype vehicle as part of a small senior design team. Our team

independently fundraised over $10,000, designed a fully encompassing CAD model of all components,

and custom fabricated the majority of parts, in order to construct an ultra-efficient diesel vehicle for

an international invitational competition in only 5 months. Given my strong background in

management and strong engineering background, I was elected as the team manager for this project

and was able to accomplish this massive venture both on time and under budget with limited

resources.

I will work diligently to ensure that I become an influential and valued member of your company

and will commit to bringing added energy, passion and knowledge to your team. Please do not hesitate

to contact me for any additional information. I would love the opportunity to meet with you in person

to address any follow-up questions you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration of my

qualifications.

Best regards,

Douglas B. Fisher
