Hello to all of the Purdue students!

METECS will be attending the upcoming career fair at Purdue University, and we would like to say a special hello to all those who are checking out the website and the company.

As a brief introduction, METECS is a small company currently focused on simulation work at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

This work requires students with strong work ethic, good communication skills (since our employee often correspond with the customer directly), good engineering skills, and a desire to program (the work involves engineering tasks that are normally accomplished through programming simulations).

If a small company with a dynamic work environment is something you are looking for, we would love to talk with you!

See you there.

Angela Reeves is the latest addition to the METECS team and we are very excited to have her as a member.

Angela recently graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering. She developed an interest in dynamic modeling and simulation while contributing to a guided missile model at an internship located in her hometown of Plano, Texas. While in school, Angela led a six person team (which included another METECS recent hire, Thomas Brain) in a project which led to gaining Johnson Space Center’s support to launch the Modeling and Simulation Initiative at the University of Texas. This team successfully modeled, simulated, and animated a six degree of freedom rendezvous scenario. This task included interfacing TRICK - the simulation software used at Johnson Space Center - with the animation software in the UT Visualization Lab.

Welcome aboard Angela!

We are very happy to announce a new member on the METECS team.

Bryce Kovel is a recent graduate of the University of Texas where he obtained an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering. While in Austin, Bryce was responsible for the rendezvous analysis of LSTAR, a mission design project that won second place in the national Ra-scal graduate competition. His undergraduate work was done at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where he obtained his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering.

Welcome aboard Bryce!
