SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT
Bakken Shale Gas Senior Design Project, Chicago, IL January 2015 - Present
 Worked in a team with 3 other student engineers to develop, design, cost estimate, and present two processing routes for dealing
with stranded associated gas from oil production in the Bakken formation in North Dakota. Management of time, deadlines, and
group members were critical skills that ensured success. Presentation of results to industry mentors, department professors, and
students on a tri-weekly basis and documenting all work in written interim reports were key deliverables on this project. Dealing
with information uncertainty while making use of all the chemical engineering learnings from prior coursework were key
challenges.
