James Matthews

I majored in Chemical Engineering at the University of Mississippi. I have experience working with groups as well as leading others throughout varies case studies and design projects. I am interested in working in pharmaceutical production, chemical labs, manufacturing, energy development, environmental control, pharmaceutical production, and I am also interested in branching out to other options. I hope to gain knowledge from future mentors within the field of engineering and further develop my skills in an engineering workplace. I have gained knowledge of mechanical engineering as a process engineer for Mohawk however I hope to gain knowledge as a chemical engineer in the future.

As a process engineer I
