Experience

• Missouri University of Science & Technology

  Electrical Engineering Lab Development Assistant

  I was in charge of developing new experiments including the lab manual for three course laboratories and improve existing laboratory experiments and manuals. I coordinate with professors that oversee laboratory content to ensure all experiments are beneficial to the students. My main objective is the development and testing of each new laboratory experiment, sorting out problems as they arise and writing clear, detailed lab manuals.

  Electrical Engineering Lab Teaching Assistant

  Factory Automation Lab (Spring 2005-Fall 2006):
  I taught a total of 10 sections of the semester long junior and senior level factory automation labs over 2 years. The junior level lab provides a hands-on experience with programming table top automation modules with Allen Bradley (PLC-5 and ControlLogix), GE Fanuc, Siemens, and Modicon PLC systems and their associated software. Basic operations, PIDs and programming an HMI are covered. The senior level lab provides a hands-on experience with advanced table top modules and a class-wide project that requires communication between multiple PLCs and multiple factory networks. Factory communication networks, system security, advanced HMI, structured text, and sequential function charts are covered.
  I gained valuable troubleshooting experience with both hardware and software for multiple PLC systems. Also, I answered questions and provided guidance to students for completing assignments and understanding lecture material. I was responsible for the students’ successful completion of the laboratory experiments and learning programming techniques.
  
  
  Introduction to Electronic Devices Lab (Spring 2009):
  This lab reviewed the basic theory of electronic devices (diodes, FETs, BJTs, and operational amplifiers) through hands-on experiments and simulation with PSpice and Multisim. I also taught laboratory equipment usage and measurement techniques for basic electronic circuits. I was responsible for the students’ successful completion of the laboratory experiments and learning the fundamentals of how electronic devices operate.

• Mission Critical Technologies

  Engineer III

  My work focused on the design, simulation and analysis of complex defense and space systems. I was involved with the development of model libraries and multi-discipline functional, configurational and behavioral models at multiple abstraction levels with the goal of incorporating verification and validation in the early stages of complex system design.

• James Madison University

  Associate Professor

  I teach sophomore and junior level courses in engineering design, as well as an engineering science course in circuits and instrumentation. Interdisciplinary elective courses I teach are Mechatronics and Medical Innovations.

• James Madison University

  Assitant Department Head

  Jacquelyn worked at James Madison University as a Assitant Department Head

• James Madison University

  Assistant Professor

  I teach courses that comprise the engineering design core of the curriculum as well as engineering science courses on circuits and instrumentation and systems analysis. Interdisciplinary elective courses I have developed and taught include: Introduction to sensors, Mechatronics, and Medical Innovations.

• Intel

  LFTD FMS/I&C Development Engineer

  I worked in the Instrumentation and Controls group under LFTD at the R&D fab site for Intel Corporation. My job consisted of bench testing new automation and instrumentation products, developing qualification plans, writing white papers, field testing the new devices and determining if they meet fab requirements/constraints before releasing the new technology to the other fabs. Other projects I was involved with include simulating the acid waste neutralization process control system with MatLab Simulink, troubleshooting field devices, and making PLC ControlLogix code changes.

• Oregon State University and Missouri S&T

  Design Engineering Lab Graduate Research Assistant

  Incorporating biological systems into engineering design techniques allows engineers to leverage the elegant and simplistic designs found in nature. My research focused on formulating a systematic, biologically-inspired (or biomimetic), design methodology and a framework of design tools to support the methodology. Case studies using the methodology and framework include the development of biomimetic chemical sensors, optical current transducer, and an innovative solar thermal collection device. I transferred to OSU following my research advisor. My coursework covered the following topics: engineering design, MEMS design and fabrication, bioelectronics/biosensors, analytical techniques to detect target analytes, optoelectronics, advanced analog circuits, power electronics, linear control systems, and design of experiments.
