Dear Sir or Madam:

In December, 1992, I completed a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, 
from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.  I am interested in obtaining 
a mechanical engineering position with your company.

As you will note in the enclosed resume, both my education and work 
experience have helped to prepare me for a mechanical engineering 
position.  As a graduate research assistant, I have been responsible for 
all phases of a solidification heat transfer research project from 
conceptual design to construction of experimental equipment.  I have 
also participated in research concerning the start-up characteristics 
and operating limits of a high-temperature sodium heat pipe.

In addition,  I have conducted numerical research and have developed a 
numerical code  to simulate the solidification of water in an enclosure 
using a control volume based finite difference method.   

I hope my qualifications are of interest to you and would appreciate 
your consideration for any existing or future openings for a mechanical 
engineer. 



                                   Sincerely,

                       
                                   Michael W. McDonough
