My name is Van Le and I'm a senior studying Mechanical Engineering at Louisiana State University. I chose Mechanical Engineering because I enjoy breaking down a problem and finding an effective solution. Organization and documentation are practices I observe in order to execute an efficient work plan and therefore quicker results.
At Louisiana State University, I joined the Formula SAE team where I became heavily involved in design roles and leadership . My work at the Protostripes center has exposed me to the business side of engineering by working with clients to accomplish a functional product. My time as a student mentor and supplemental instructor with the Chevron Center of Engineering Education has given me skills to be a capable communicator and teacher. My most recent internship was with Intralox LLC, where I was able to apply my skills to my work and give me insights on smart engineering practices and project management. Now, I'm a project manager at LA New Product Development Team, a startup firm and one-stop-shop for developing a product idea into a reality. I catered to customers' needs by understanding their business goals and creating a product development plan to set them on the path towards launching their market-viable product. I want to be able to offer my skills to an energetic and resourceful team. No matter where I may end up, I want to share a commitment to the company mission with my coworkers and cultivate a continuous drive to invent and improve. I want to take part in future innovations that will drive humanity forward on the road toward better solutions. |
I once sat down and created a list that was an accumulation of what I had learned from my years as an engineering student.
To me, it serves as a guideline for good engineering practices, and if followed, can result in quality work.
The list includes being efficient, testing then validating, and being confident.
From this list, I selected three things that I believe to be what makes a great engineer.
1. Self-Management
2. Resourcefulness
3. Communication
In my experience, I've learned that every successful company implement the idea of continuous improvement.
So I've put myself to the task of doing just that, and I intend to apply that idea to all of my work.
