Dear Sir:

I am currently working towards my Master's degree in Computer Science at
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and I am interested in exploring career
opportunities at this time.  I expect to complete my degree at the end of
August, 1992.  I am interested in knowing about any openings for which I am
qualified, which could be available at that time.

I can be reached by phone during the day at (508) 831-5006, and by email at
rdouglas@cs.wpi.edu, as well as by mail.

					Sincerely,



					Robert E. Douglas, Jr.

EDUCATION
1991-1992    M.S. Computer Science (GPA -- 3.89)
	     Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA

		Main Areas of Interest : Artificial Intelligence and 
					 Human Computer Interaction
		Thesis:
		A Concurrent Engineering Demonstration System
		---------------------------------------------
		The design and development of a system to demonstrate several 
		aspects of concurrent engineering in an intelligent computer 
		tool.  Includes research into  concurrent engineering to 
		define those aspects, knowledge-base development, and 
		interface design.
		(In Progress).

1987-1991    B.S. Computer Science with High Distinction
	     Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA

		Major Qualifying Project (MQP):
		A Self-Diagnosing Simulation of the Space Shuttle's
		---------------------------------------------------
		Robot Manipulator
		-----------------
		This project is a self-diagnosing and self-correcting system 
		for a robot arm.  The system detects faults and attempts to 
		find alternative solutions to a given problem.  It creates a 
		three-dimensional graphic display of the Space Shuttle and 
		its Remote Manipulator using the X window environment.

1984-1987 Robert E. Fitch Senior High School, Groton, CT
