To Prospective Employers:

     I am a Ph. D. student in mechanical engineering at Drexel University
graduating in November, 1992. I have a strong background in finite element
analysis, mechanics of composite materials and fracture analysis. I am
currently searching for suitable job opportunities to work in the areas of
mechanics, finite element analysis, composite material analysis and
manufacture, design optimization and computer aided engineering. A resume
outlining my qualifications follows, please take a few moments  and read 
through it. Thank you for your time, 
                           sincerely,

                           kish Pochiraju
