Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering
Minor in Mathematics
Always seeking for an opportunity to learn and grow.
My name is Thu Yein. I have a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from University of Washington and posses a diverse set of experiences. From building robots to conducting cutting edge research and publication. Being an Operation Engineer and Project Engineer, I work closely with lean manufacturing and one-piece flow methods to meet fluctuating customer demands.
Technically, I have over 6 years of SolidWorks experience, with knowledge on Simens NX and GD&T for aerospace tolerances. Modified brazing methods and welding techniques. Hands on involvement with machinists to customize parts using plasma cutters, various forming techniques, CNC lathe and mill.
Apart from the technical skills, I am also well equipped with my soft skills through various leadership positions. Currently expanding my breadth of knowledge in the competitive world of manufacturing. My goal is to apply everything I have learned to help people and give back.

Study Abroad in Japan
Summer of 2019, I took part in a study abroad program on sustainable energy at Ehime University. My engineering cohort was lead by Prof. Collins and Miyamoto sensei to discover and present our research to prospective mechanical engineering students.
During the day, we learned about the technical understanding of different power generation systems. As well as the social, economic and political factors of sustainable power generation in the United States. Then comparing it to Japan’s approach and perspective on sustainable energy. We had an opportunity to speak with experts at Daichi Gas Company and Japanese professors in the field.
After class we made field trips to Shinto Festivals, self sustained villages, local beaches and spent time with students from Ehime University. We exchange our culture differences and celebrate the similarities. This was truly an eye opening experience. Special thanks to Prof. Collins, Miyamoto sensei, and everyone involved in helping us.
