School Experience:
I am a senior at Texas Tech University about to graduate in August 2013 with a bachelor
in Wind Energy with a minor in personal finance. In my studies I learned about wind blade
design and wind development procedures as well as regulatory law of wind, oil, and gas. Also,
using tools like Microsoft Excel to create pro forma financial model and Microsoft Word to
create reports for investors to get money for wind farm development were essential. Other tools
like Quantum GIS were very handy for wind farm siting and wind farm development layout. In
Regulatory Law class I did contract negotiations, as well as, legal document signing. Project
management was a bulk of are studies in a lot of are courses and communication skills were
stressed vigorously. In my modeling and design course I learned project management skills, as
well as, wind development procedures for 150 MW wind farms. Financial knowledge was a big
part of our studies since wind development is very expensive and has quite a bit of government
subsidies. We were taught how to create pro forma financial models to find out project costs, as
well as, run sensitivity analysis which we did in Excel. With that information we then did wind
development reports for investors to get money for are wind farm. Aerodynamics was another
aspect I learned about and used tools like prop code and WT_Perf for blade design.
