Comments

1. Describe a project that was particularly challenging. What was challenging about it? What was the solution and what results did you achieve?

   All projects which I managed were challenging . Challenges differ from material of the product to customer requests. Solution is simple: do what customer required.

2. Which CAD software programs do you find the most useful for the kind of work that you do? What are the pros and cons of the various CAD software programs that you use?

   I use different CAD software, such as Solid Works,Autodesk Inventor, CATIA V5, Pro-E CREO. All software are different in way of operation and speed

3. How do you keep yourself up-to-date with the various developments in your field of work?
   Which new skills have you acquired in the past year?
   What new skills do you plan to acquire in the future?

   I do update my skills by keeping myself informed by checking Engineering Websites, company new product development announcements regarding material properties and product design based on new modern materials. I do have some plans.

4. Are there any kinds of activities that you feel are better to outsource or subcontract than to do yourself?
   Why or why not?
   What are some of the risks, in your opinion? Benefits?

   I prefer to do jobs myself because I am not sure that anyone else can make my project better.
