BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Prepared By: Professor Sajjan G. Shiva, Ph.D.

I am preparing this evaluation in order to demonstrate that Mr. Dao Truong Xuan Truong Xuan has completed specialized advanced-level work experience in the field of Electrical Engineering. I am qualified to comment on the work experience of this candidate because of the positions I hold and have held as Professor and Chairman of the Computer Science Department at the University of Memphis. Because of the positions I hold at the University of Memphis, I can determine whether credit would be awarded to a student by the University. Additionally, I am qualified to determine whether coursework taken in the field of Electrical Engineering and related areas can be considered to have the equivalency of Bachelors-level training in the area of Electrical Engineering and related areas.

ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS Mr. Dao Truong Xuan enrolled and completed academic coursework and examinations at Hanoi University of Technology, an accredited institution of higher learning in Vietnam. Mr. Dao Truong Xuan was awarded a Bang Tot Nghiep Dai Hoc degree in 1988. The diploma demonstrates that Mr. Dao Truong Xuan

completed his course of studies at Hanoi University of Technology. Mr. Dao Truong Xuan completed specialized courses in the major, Electrical Engineering, and other related courses. As it states in the evaluation of Academic Credentials completed by Morningside Evaluations and Consulting, the studies undertaken, the number of credit units earned, the number of years of coursework, and the degree earned all indicate that Mr. Dao Truong Xuan satisfied requirements equivalent to those required for the attainment of a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution of higher education in the United States. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE In addition to his academic studies, Mr. Dao Truong Xuan has worked for more than fifteen years in Electrical Engineering and related fields. During this period Mr. Dao Truong Xuan served in progressively sophisticated and responsible positions, together with peers, in both non-managerial and managerial capacities, at a level of work experience equal to Bachelors-level training. From March of 2000 to the present day, Mr. Dao Truong Xuan has been employed in positions of progressive responsibility in the field of Electrical Engineering. During this time, Mr. Dao Truong Xuan worked as an Offshore Electrical Technician at BP Exploration and Operating Company, from March of 2000 until June of 2003; as an Electrical and Instrument Supervisor at Cuu Long Joint Operating Company, from June of 2003 until August of 2009; as an H01 Wellhead Platform Project Senior Electrical and Instrument Engineer, an H01 Wellhead Platform Project Pre-Com and Commissioning Team Leader, and an H04 Wellhead Platform Project Senior Electrical and Instrument Engineer at Hoang Long Hoan Vu Joint Operating Company, from September of 2009 until August of 2012; and an STN Project Lead Electrical and Instrument Engineer, an STN Project Commissioning Manager, and an Su Tu Trang FFD Project Lead and Electrical and Instrument Engineer at Cuu Long Joint Operating Company, from August of 2012 until the present day.
