Derrick Jones

Results-driven Civil Engineering student with 1.5 years of experience in rail brake assembly and calibration testing. Skilled in Creo Parametric and SolidWorks, specializing in the design, modeling, and testing of mechanical components. Focused on delivering safety and precision in manufacturing environments.

• Mechanical Component Reverse Engineering – Creo Parametric, Recreated a fully detailed removable stapler component using advanced part modeling techniques. Applied dimensional analysis to ensure functional accuracy and structural integrity. Demonstrated proficiency in parametric modeling, assembly constraints, and feature-based design. Strengthened skills in mechanical visualization and precision-based CAD development.
• Mobility-Accessible Beehive System – SolidWorks (Team Project), Collaborated in a 3-member engineering team to design an accessible beehive system for mobility-impaired users. Conducted research on ergonomic accessibility and mechanical lifting mechanisms. Designed a crank-lift elevation system to enable safe and adjustable hive access. Developed full 3D assembly models and contributed to functional design improvements. Integrated mechanical motion concepts into final assembly design.
