Autobiography

I was born in Indianapolis to Harold and Michelle Netzler on Nov 19, 1987. I grew up in Parke County and

attended Northview high-school in Brazil, IN. While in high school, I was a multi-sport athlete, and proud to say I

graduated with honors. I was selected to be an ambassador for the school, where I gave tours of the school, worked

at sporting events, and was rather active in and around the school. In high school, I was very interested in math,

science, and computer technology.

After high school, I moved out of state and worked a variety of jobs. I was offered a position as an

assistant manager at Momentum Media and moved to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in November 2011. While working at

Momentum Media I trained, oversaw, and built a successful team. After proving that I was able to perform as well

as motivating a team to perform, I was promoted after only three months to open my own office. I worked very

hard opening and running my company, Hi-Power Media Solutions. After about a year in West Virginia, I began to

miss my family and home in Indiana. In February 2013, I moved back to the Wabash Valley to enroll in school

and to be closer to my family and friends.

That fall I registered for school at Ivy Tech Community College. While looking at the majors Ivy Tech had

to offer I was very interested in Industrial Technology After the completion of my the first semester with a 4.0

GPA, I was introduced to a new major that would incorporate my love of math, science, and my passion of

building and improving things. While I do not mind getting dirty, I do like the aspect of using my intelligence to

solve problems. Engineering Technology is a major that wrapped all my individual skills into one category. I felt

like this was the direction I had been searching for my entire life. The Engineering Technology program was the

perfect home for me incorporating, math, physics, science, and design.

I have a passion of working with people to solve problems. After my second semester at Ivy Tech, my

algebra teacher noticed students were asking me for help, and I was doing a great job of explaining to them. That

led to the manager of the math lab asking me if being a math tutor was of interest to me. I gratefully accepted the

position. Working in the Math lab has taught me how to work with many different types of people. I’ve also

participated in multiple leadership roles. The Leadership Academy was a very rewarding experience, it taught me

how to act and lead others. I’ve been the natural leader throughout the Engineering Technology classes. Joshua

Speer, the Engineering Technology Chair, can attest to my leadership abilities, dedication, professionalism, and

resourcefulness. I’ve excelled throughout the course work and have helped my classmate’s succeed. Recently I was

informed by the Indiana Department of Education, that I will be receiving a state award titled Career and Technical

Education Award for Excellence. This award does not make me a better person or professional, but it does give

validation to the hard work and dedication I have put towards my field. I am excited to say that I will be

graduating in May 2016 with an Associate of Science in Engineering Technology. This is the first step in what I

hope to be a life long journey in the engineering profession.

My education will not cease with Ivy Tech. I will be a life-long learner. I have plans to continue my

education. My dream is to find a job where I can grow and develop to the next level. That may include on the job

training, training on equipment, or taking additional coursework at the college level. With my hope being, I earn a

Bachelor’s of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology.

Trigonometry & Algebra

I am a mathematically centered person, who easily asserts my knowledge to solve real life

problems. While taking algebra and trigonometry, I’ve earned an A in both courses and

was recruited to tutor other students. My reputation as a tutor in the math lab has led to

opportunities for me to tutor outside of work by individual request. Unlike most people, I

enjoy working with numbers and working with people to solve problems.

Calculus, Statics & Physics I & II

Gained knowledge of Static Equilibrium’s. Through

coursework I was tasked to solve multiple situational and

actual real life problems. I learned to calculate forces,

moments, reactionary forces, and magnitudes. The Statics

course work has also helped to improve my trigonometry

skills, as well as advancing my conversion skills with U.S.

Customary & Metric.

In the Physics coursework, I have developed

skills in Kinematics, Dynamics, and Newtonian

Physics at an elementary level. Topics include:

motion, force, friction, gravitation, energy,

heat, work, power, simple machines, circular

motion and gravity.

In application, I’ve used these skills to solve

many real life physics problems. Through this

work, I’ve also gained skills with precise

measurements and dimensions.

I am currently taking Physics II, which allows

me to delve deeper into the fascinating world

of Physics, while bolstering my knowledge of

how things work.

This semester, my final semester at Ivy Tech, I decided to

take Calculus I, as an elective. After completing the course

work I will have knowledge of derivatives of elementary

functions, integrals, delta epsilon proofs, and differential

Calculus to solve natural and social sciences, along with

multiple other applications of Calculus.

I’m above average skilled working with Excel Spreadsheets,

I’ve done numerous data analysis using graphs, tables, and

with multiple workbooks. With my background in math

I’ve also used excel to construct multiple calculations. In

these pictures, I have provided examples of my work,

Spreadsheet 1 is some examples of trigonometric

calculations & conversions. Spreadsheet 2 is the calculated

the amount of CO2 produced and how much annually it

costs to run a theoretical household. Spreadsheet 3 is a

Lab Reports

Throughout most of the Engineering Technology course work I’ve had to

create lab reports for the tests and experiments we have done. I believe this

skill will prove to be a very useful tool in industry. Not only was I able to

develop a lab report but I am very good at public speaking and presenting

findings.

Lab Procedures

Impact Testing Lab Procedures

1.0 Introduction:

The machine that is being used is the Instron Ceast 9050 (Figure 1-1). “The CEAST 9050 impact pendulum is

designed for determining the resilience of thermoplastic materials to brittleness under standard impact conditions

according to Charpy (bars/pipes), Izod, Dynstat, and Tensile Impact methods, ranging in energy from 0.5 - 50 J

(.378 - 36.9 ft-lbs)”(www.instron.com). We will be testing the red acrylic material (12.6 cm x 1.2 cm) (Figure 1-2)

Ensure the safety device are working properly such as: the door and make sure the hammer doesn’t

come down when the door is open.

DO NOT TRY TO BYPASS ANY OF THE SAFETY DEVICES.

Observe any pinch points and keep hands and limbs free of them.

4.0 Testing Procedure:

1. Read the manual for the Ceast 9050 and observe all of the warnings and cautions.

2. Turn on the Ceast 9050. The switch is located on the back of the machine.

3. Check to ensure the air is on and if not turn it on.

4. Make sure the emergency stop is off and then press the blue button (Figure 4-1).

While working in the engineering lab, I lead a team which produced a

complete Lab Procedures for an Impact Tester, pictured below. The

finished product let me showcase my attention to details, computer

skills, and professionalism. I am now trained in the industry standards

for lab procedures.

5. Check to ensure you have the impact hammer 7600.025 Charpy ISO (Figure 4-2) and the correct base is

installed. If it’s not the correct head see procedure below:

Press operations on the touch screen

Before pressing the release icon on the touch screen, make sure area is clear.

Then press the Release icon.

At the base of the head unscrew the wing nut by turning counterclockwise

Remove head

Remove base using the 8mm ball end Allen wrench and loosen the front 2 bolts at the bottom of the

base.

Insert base 7610.131 and fasten the front 2 bolts using the 8mm ball end Allen wrench.

Insert the impact hammer 7600.025 head. (Make sure the impact point is facing the left. It will only

go in one way)

Insert the wing nut and make sure the nut is facing up and tighten Clockwise.

6. On the home screen press Calibrate icon (Figure 4-3) and then press Start (see Figure 4-4) (The machine

automatically senses what head and base you are using).

7. On the home screen (Figure 4-3) select Parameters icon (then see Figure 4-5) and load the Charpy ISO

parameters are loaded.

8. Once calibrated insert testing material and make sure it is centered and flush on the bottom ledge of the

base and flat.

Impact, Flexure, Compression & Tensile Testing

With the Flexure machine, I conducted a

Flexural test with three-point loading to find the

shear stress of plastic test piece. While working

with the compression testing I was able to

measure the fracture limits of the plastic

material. The Tensile test may be the most

important test that I ran, the results of this test

often yields what is called a material’s “Ultimate

Strength”, a yield strength, and a modulus of

Elasticity. I really enjoyed the material testing.

Within the Engineering Technology coursework,

there was Materials & Processes, where I got

some great experience working all the testing

equipment. With the impact tester we able to

find the amount of force plastic test pieces could

withstand on impact.

Rockwell Hardness Testing

The Rockwell Hardness Test is a valuable

testing procedure I used. I was able to identify

multiple pieces of random metal based on its

rating on the Rockwell hardness scale after

testing.

The dimple pictured below is from one of the

test pieces I magnified with a Metallurgical

microscope and photographed with the digital

display attachment.

Faro Arm

The Faro Arm was a very exciting piece of

equipment I also have been trained on. I was

able to digitize the object pictured from the

table to a computer.

This machine is used to make the most

precise digital 3D renderings, from any

object by touching the tip of the arm to

different data points all around the object.

This I can use to reverse engineer geometric

shaped objects, especially with tight

tolerances.

Metallurgy Specimen Preparation

I am have gained the know-how to prepare specimens for embedding samples for

examination. The process includes sawing, embedding, sanding, polishing, etching, and

examining grain structure with a microscope.

Electronics/Logic/PLC

LOGIC GATES

Simple Ladder Logic Example for Use with Programmable

Logic Controllers

Through the Engineering Technology course work I’ve expanded my knowledge of

Electricity. I have wired multiple circuits, diagnosed problems, and have experience

working with PLC’s. I was able to apply these skills to a real world problem where as a

Team we wired and I programmed two PLC’s to a water distribution system.
