Credentials and Experience

Serge graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette. In the past he had a special opportunity to be the youngest member of a robotics team. He was able to prove my excellence by winning weekly competitions and also showing my knowledge in designing and programing robots to meet a set of requirements. New challenges were picked each week that involved having the robot follow a black line, measure distances, organizing blocks of difference colors, and many more.

Purdue’s core program for Mechanical Engineering has prepared him to solve many real world engineering challenges – whether it be solar energy, cyberspace security or simply enhancing everyday living. Purdue also prepared him for a multicultural diverse world. As engineers, most of the time is working with people all over the world. People have to work together on different aspects of design to create a final product.

Serge worked in the automotive industry for three summers and went to school for two years learning to become an automotive technician. He also worked in the racing industry as a pit crew member. This was a great rush because he was able to utilized the things he learned into an adrenaline rush position that required fast decisions to be made in split of a second. Serge knew that being an automotive technician will not be my ideal career path but it helped him decide that he wanted to go into the automotive area. During those years he was familiarized with different systems of the car – engine performance, heating and air condition, power terrain, steering and suspension, brakes and electrical systems. He's able to diagnose a problem, repair the problem and also do the required paperwork to complete the process. During these processes he also learned how to communicate with customers, part dealers and engineers. It also taught him to become a leader because he was able to instruct other workers on how to repair the problem. He's now able to reflect what he learned during that stage to my career in mechanical engineering.

Becoming a member of The National Society of Leadership and Success (ΣΑΠ) allowed him to further develop my skills as a leader. As a member we practiced how to become a leader and how to meet goals in the future.

In High school He was a part of SkillsUSA which is an organization for leadership and skills. He participated in a weekend long conference where we were placed in leader type situations and had to act as a leader to solve a given problem. Team building was also an emphasis and enabled us to better communicate and interact with others in a proper manner.

Professional Interests

As an engineer he hold a position to better peoples’ everyday lives. Since an automotive industry is a major engineering challenge he would like to become a part of some solution. Robotics is a big need in the automotive industry. In the future he would like to incorporate robots and automotive aspects into my career. All these aspect would involve some kind of interaction with a diverse and flat world that we live in today. Serge expect to become a huge contributor to the automotive and trucking industry.
