Gavin Dsouza

I am a mechanical engineering student at RMIT University, aspiring to pursue a career as a mechanical engineer. I am highly motivated, hardworking, and committed to applying the knowledge and skills I have gained throughout my studies to real-world engineering challenges. I thrive in team environments and am always eager to take on new opportunities that foster growth and learning. In addition to my academic background, I have experience in retail and food service, which has strengthened my adaptability, problem-solving abilities, and interpersonal skills. I am also passionate about sports, including tennis, soccer, and AFL, and I enjoy engaging in activities that promote teamwork and strategic thinking. I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge and continuously improving my skill set to achieve my professional goals.

Over the course of my undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering, I have developed strong academic skills in research, problem-solving, and critical thinking. I have excelled in key areas such as mechanical vibrations, mechanics of materials, finite element modeling, and engineering research. My experience includes conducting literature reviews, analyzing complex engineering models, and applying theoretical concepts to practical, real-world applications. I am proficient in ANSYS for simulating mechanical systems and skilled in finite element analysis (FEA) and computer-aided design (CAD). I leverage engineering software to model, simulate, and optimize mechanical systems effectively. Additionally, I have strong teamwork and communication skills, demonstrated through group projects and laboratory work. I collaborate effectively with peers to develop and implement engineering solutions, ensuring successful project outcomes.
