To whom it may concern:
As an instructor for the undergraduate course Aerothermodynamics of Propulsion
systems, I have had the pleasure of knowing Austin Thomas during the 2015 spring
semester. I have seen his talent and have long been impressed by his diligence and
work ethic. I understand that Austin Thomas is applying for a position within your
group.
Mr. Thomas has a firm foundation in fluid mechanics and thermal sciences. During
the Propulsion course, he demonstrated his knowledge and understanding of course
material through class assignments. He never misses the class and homework
assignments are submitted on time. Furthermore, Mr. Thomas has shown great interest
in research through personal interaction with him. If you are seeking superior
candidates, Mr. Thomas is an excellent choice. He has consistently demonstrated an
ability to rise to any challenge that he must face.
To conclude, I would like to restate my strong recommendation for Mr. Thomas. If
you have any further questions regarding Thomas’ ability or this recommendation,
please do not hesitate to contact me using the information on this letterhead.
