Dr. Brett Ellis is a Senior Associate at Exponent Engineering and Scientific Consulting (http://www.exponent.com/brett_ellis/) and has worked in the mechanical engineering field for 16 years, with 12 years of experience in industry.
His industry experience includes open hole testing in the oil and gas industry and extensive
experience in the plastic processing industry, in which he designed plastic performs and bottles,
designed injection- and blow-molding tooling, designed and optimized polymer processing
equipment, and led process improvement activities (e.g., Lean Six Sigma, SMED, Gage R&R). Dr.
Ellis currently specializes in stress analysis, solid mechanics, finite element analysis, statistical
analyses, and design. During his doctoral research, Dr. Ellis developed and implemented a
computational framework to design Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) materials and
structures to withstand blast and impact loads. The computational framework consisted of two
major components: (1) development and validation of multi-scale finite element models to predict
the response of UHPC panels to blast and impact loads; and (2) development of robust material and
structural design algorithms to determine properties, structures, and processing steps which satisfy
specified blast and impact performance criteria.

The list of science, technology, engineering and math
(STEM) experts participating in the live taping of the
second installment of ASME Decision Point Dialogues
thought leadership series later this month is quite an
impressive one, including such luminaries as ASME
President Madiha El Mehelmy Kotb, Ioannis Mialoulis,
president and director of the Museum of Science in
Boston, and James Douglas, former governor of
Vermont.
The live taping of this year’s Decision Po int Dialogues
discussion, “Crit ical Thinking, Crit ical Choices: What
Really Matters in STEM,” will take place on April 23 at
10:00 a.m. at the Walter E. Washington Convention
Center in Washington, D.C. The panel discussion, to be
presented in the forum of a Socratic d ialogue, will
explore the critical issues that government, business,
education and engineering leaders are dealing with
related to STEM.

conversation on this important topic.
Experts Convene for Shale Development and
Hydraulic Fracturing Conference
ASME’s inaugural conference on Shale Development and
Hydraulic Fracturing brought industry and academic thought
leaders from around the world together in San Diego in
March.
In opening the three-day conference, Tim Graves, operations
director for ASME’s International Petroleum Technology
Institute, explained that ASME was well qualified to host the
event, saying “from fluid and fracturing dynamics to piping
and pumping technology, mechanical engineers stand at the
center of the hydraulic fracturing revolution.”
Several speakers pointed out that the industry’s success in
recovering unconventional shale gas in the U.S. has come
despite low efficiency. With prices now very low, they said
efficiency must improve, and they outlined a broad range of
technologies and practices to help accomplish that.

Meredith Campbell is ASME New Face of
Engineering – College Level
Meredith (Merry) Campbell, a third-year mechanical
engineering student at Daniel Webster College in Nashua,
N.H., has been named as ASME’s winner of the 2014
DiscoverE New Face of Engineering - College Edition
program. Campbell was one of 15 engineering students from
various engineering societies who were selected as the
winners of this year’s competition, which highlights the
accomplishments of third-, fourth- and fifth-year university
engineering students.
Campbell was cited for her ro le in founding the Kenya
Connection Club, a program that creates instructional videos
to help professors at Africa International University connect
with students using a learning management system. As a
2014 New Faces-College Edition winner, she will receive a
$1,000 scholarship from ASME and appear with this year’s
other winners on the New Faces of Engineering-College

We are seeking to hire a Mechanical Engineer (Design Engineer) with 5- 10 years of experience that will be working as part of an interdisciplinary design team, carrying out the mechanical design of custom LCD display modules. Areas of focus for this Mechanical Engineer will be concept creation, mechanical design
and documentation using Pro-Engineer Creo & Windchill, electronic packaging, thermal design and analysis of cooling solutions, structural analysis, design for manufacturability and serviceability, BOM creation, and manufacturing support. The Mechanical Engineer works in close collaboration with other
engineers (electrical, optical, systems, software, industrial), program managers, manufacturing associates, and the executive staff to deliver cutting-edge products according to accelerated schedules. The work
environment is hands-on, dynamic, and fast-paced --- taking full advantage of a wide array of fabrication and manufacturing capabilities existing under one roof. Experience with Pro-E (Creo), Windchill, EFD,
FEMAP are all a plus. BSME required. MSME is a plus.
Thermal Fluid Analysis-EFD experience and FEA analysis-FEMAP experience are both a big plus .
Intralink is the Pro-E cad library they are using—if the candidate is familiar with it, that would be another plus. The ideal candidate would have some kind of sheet metal design experience, but they are open to
meeting candidates with other types of design experience. Candidate resumes should definitely show clearly any of the above mentioned experience/knowledge.
This manufacturer has a high energy environment and they need a well-rounded Engineer who will get involved (and not just want to sit in a cubicle and do their job.) Interaction with the VP of Engineering and
the Owner is very common.
Salary range is generally $60K to $75K/year or $27 to $35/hour, depending on candidate’s experience (prefer 5 to 10 years of experience.) The pay ranges are flexible.
Hours-Regular 8 – 5, M-Fri with overtime occasionally.
