Chris Maccormack’s Summary
With 10 years of industry experience in the mechanical product design field designing actuators, mechanical testing solutions, strain gage measurement devises, opto-electrical sensors I am bringing my real world mistakes and triumphs to the next generation of problem solvers, researchers and product designers.
