  1. Mike O’Dell Design/Development Engineer Overview I am a Design and Development Engineering Professional with a proven record at several top companies. I have revenue enhancing, product line extension and cost reduction expertise. I especially like to work under pressure. My product specialties have been with industrial products, including connectors, industrial control, switchgear and connectors. I am very knowledgeable in engineering materials, fabrication processes, industry standards and agency certification.

  2. Early background • B.S. & M.S. Mechanical Engineering- University of Wisconsin-Madison • P.E.- Wisconsin • Research & Thesis on modeling solar assisted refrigerant-filled collector heat pumps in the UW Solar Lab • First position was Development Engineer with the Trane Company • Developed heat exchangers and complete refrigeration/air conditioning systems

  3. S&C Electric • Design & performance of metal enclosed medium voltage (15 to 38 kV) switchgear • Important issues: security, corrosion, controlling moisture & ventilation, manufacturability, industry practices • Listed on three U.S. patents
