5. Autobiography
I was born in Indianapolis to Harold and Michelle Netzler on Nov 19, 1987. I grew up in Parke County and
attended Northview high-school in Brazil, IN. While in high school, I was a multi-sport athlete, and proud to say I
graduated with honors. I was selected to be an ambassador for the school, where I gave tours of the school, worked
at sporting events, and was rather active in and around the school. In high school, I was very interested in math,
science, and computer technology.
After high school, I moved out of state and worked a variety of jobs. I was offered a position as an
assistant manager at Momentum Media and moved to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in November 2011. While working at
Momentum Media I trained, oversaw, and built a successful team. After proving that I was able to perform as well
as motivating a team to perform, I was promoted after only three months to open my own office. I worked very
hard opening and running my company, Hi-Power Media Solutions. After about a year in West Virginia, I began to
miss my family and home in Indiana. In February 2013, I moved back to the Wabash Valley to enroll in school
and to be closer to my family and friends.
That fall I registered for school at Ivy Tech Community College. While looking at the majors Ivy Tech had
to offer I was very interested in Industrial Technology After the completion of my the first semester with a 4.0
GPA, I was introduced to a new major that would incorporate my love of math, science, and my passion of
building and improving things. While I do not mind getting dirty, I do like the aspect of using my intelligence to
solve problems. Engineering Technology is a major that wrapped all my individual skills into one category. I felt
like this was the direction I had been searching for my entire life. The Engineering Technology program was the
perfect home for me incorporating, math, physics, science, and design.
I have a passion of working with people to solve problems. After my second semester at Ivy Tech, my
algebra teacher noticed students were asking me for help, and I was doing a great job of explaining to them. That
led to the manager of the math lab asking me if being a math tutor was of interest to me. I gratefully accepted the
position. Working in the Math lab has taught me how to work with many different types of people. I’ve also
participated in multiple leadership roles. The Leadership Academy was a very rewarding experience, it taught me
how to act and lead others. I’ve been the natural leader throughout the Engineering Technology classes. Joshua
Speer, the Engineering Technology Chair, can attest to my leadership abilities, dedication, professionalism, and
resourcefulness. I’ve excelled throughout the course work and have helped my classmate’s succeed. Recently I was
informed by the Indiana Department of Education, that I will be receiving a state award titled Career and Technical
Education Award for Excellence. This award does not make me a better person or professional, but it does give
validation to the hard work and dedication I have put towards my field. I am excited to say that I will be
graduating in May 2016 with an Associate of Science in Engineering Technology. This is the first step in what I
hope to be a life long journey in the engineering profession.
My education will not cease with Ivy Tech. I will be a life-long learner. I have plans to continue my
education. My dream is to find a job where I can grow and develop to the next level. That may include on the job
training, training on equipment, or taking additional coursework at the college level. With my hope being, I earn a
Bachelor’s of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology.

8. Trigonometry & Algebra
I am a mathematically centered person, who easily asserts my knowledge to solve real life
problems. While taking algebra and trigonometry, I’ve earned an A in both courses and
was recruited to tutor other students. My reputation as a tutor in the math lab has led to
opportunities for me to tutor outside of work by individual request. Unlike most people, I
enjoy working with numbers and working with people to solve problems.
9. Calculus, Statics & Physics I & II
Gained knowledge of Static Equilibrium’s. Through
coursework I was tasked to solve multiple situational and
actual real life problems. I learned to calculate forces,
moments, reactionary forces, and magnitudes. The Statics
course work has also helped to improve my trigonometry
skills, as well as advancing my conversion skills with U.S.
Customary & Metric.
In the Physics coursework, I have developed
skills in Kinematics, Dynamics, and Newtonian
Physics at an elementary level. Topics include:
motion, force, friction, gravitation, energy,
heat, work, power, simple machines, circular
motion and gravity.
In application, I’ve used these skills to solve
many real life physics problems. Through this
work, I’ve also gained skills with precise
measurements and dimensions.
I am currently taking Physics II, which allows
me to delve deeper into the fascinating world
of Physics, while bolstering my knowledge of
how things work.
This semester, my final semester at Ivy Tech, I decided to
take Calculus I, as an elective. After completing the course
work I will have knowledge of derivatives of elementary
functions, integrals, delta epsilon proofs, and differential
Calculus to solve natural and social sciences, along with
multiple other applications of Calculus.

Spreadsheet 1
Spreadsheet 1
I’m above average skilled working with Excel Spreadsheets,
I’ve done numerous data analysis using graphs, tables, and
with multiple workbooks. With my background in math
I’ve also used excel to construct multiple calculations. In
these pictures, I have provided examples of my work,
Spreadsheet 1 is some examples of trigonometric
calculations & conversions. Spreadsheet 2 is the calculated
the amount of CO2 produced and how much annually it
costs to run a theoretical household. Spreadsheet 3 is a
statistical analysis of weights.
12. Lab Reports
Throughout most of the Engineering Technology course work I’ve had to
create lab reports for the tests and experiments we have done. I believe this
skill will prove to be a very useful tool in industry. Not only was I able to
develop a lab report but I am very good at public speaking and presenting
findings.
13. Lab Procedures
Impact Testing Lab Procedures
1.0 Introduction:
The machine that is being used is the Instron Ceast 9050 (Figure 1-1). “The CEAST 9050 impact pendulum is
designed for determining the resilience of thermoplastic materials to brittleness under standard impact conditions
according to Charpy (bars/pipes), Izod, Dynstat, and Tensile Impact methods, ranging in energy from 0.5 - 50 J
(.378 - 36.9 ft-lbs)”(www.instron.com). We will be testing the red acrylic material (12.6 cm x 1.2 cm) (Figure 1-2)

15. Impact, Flexure, Compression & Tensile Testing
With the Flexure machine, I conducted a
Flexural test with three-point loading to find the
shear stress of plastic test piece. While working
with the compression testing I was able to
measure the fracture limits of the plastic
material. The Tensile test may be the most
important test that I ran, the results of this test
often yields what is called a material’s “Ultimate
Strength”, a yield strength, and a modulus of
Elasticity. I really enjoyed the material testing.
Within the Engineering Technology coursework,
there was Materials & Processes, where I got
some great experience working all the testing
equipment. With the impact tester we able to
find the amount of force plastic test pieces could
withstand on impact.
16. Rockwell Hardness Testing
The Rockwell Hardness Test is a valuable
testing procedure I used. I was able to identify
multiple pieces of random metal based on its
rating on the Rockwell hardness scale after
testing.
The dimple pictured below is from one of the
test pieces I magnified with a Metallurgical
microscope and photographed with the digital
display attachment.
17. Faro Arm
The Faro Arm was a very exciting piece of
equipment I also have been trained on. I was
able to digitize the object pictured from the
table to a computer.
This machine is used to make the most
precise digital 3D renderings, from any
object by touching the tip of the arm to
different data points all around the object.
This I can use to reverse engineer geometric
shaped objects, especially with tight
tolerances.
18. Metallurgy Specimen Preparation
I am have gained the know-how to prepare specimens for embedding samples for
examination. The process includes sawing, embedding, sanding, polishing, etching, and
examining grain structure with a microscope.
19. Electronics/Logic/PLC
LOGIC GATES
Simple Ladder Logic Example for Use with Programmable
Logic Controllers
Through the Engineering Technology course work I’ve expanded my knowledge of
Electricity. I have wired multiple circuits, diagnosed problems, and have experience
working with PLC’s. I was able to apply these skills to a real world problem where as a
Team we wired and I programmed two PLC’s to a water distribution system.
