Summary
Shawn Mendoza is an electrical engineering student at WSU Tri-Cities currently interning at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where he helps maintain campus buildings and develops small programs to streamline facility processes. He pairs classroom rigor in EE and mathematics with hands-on experience using tools like Maximo, AutoCAD, Autodesk Vault, and Metasys to read system drawings and analyze component performance. Focused on clean energy and research, Shawn studies computational methods in plasma physics and is independently learning C++ to simulate physical processes beyond his coursework in C and MATLAB. His internship and coordinator role at WSU have sharpened his project communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills. Known for revisiting mistakes to improve, he brings a precise, methodical approach to both coding and engineering diagnostics. Based in Othello, Washington, he’s cultivating a practical bridge between simulation-driven research interests and real-world facility engineering.
