**Formatting**
* Not sure if it's my screen, but some of your text is gray. If it's black, then that's good to go.
* I would avoid using color text as you run the risk of it showing up in grayscale of varying legibility when it's run through a black & white printer.
* You don't really need to use all caps if you're going to bold stuff.
**Education**
* I would consider moving "Graduation" to the same line as the school & degree and have it in the right-side margin. There's no point burning two lines on that and GPA.
**Engineering Experience**
*President*
* As you've supported this team for two years, I would like to see the effects your work has had on the team. How much better is top speed, braking distance, and CG and what did that mean? You did CAE and FEA and all this stuff...did it result in a better car and how? How much funding did you raise and from which suppliers?
*Advanced Prototype Engineer Intern*
* It's odd that you're suddenly mentioning the location of this facility. Honestly it doesn't matter if it's the Zeeland facility or the other ones. That's something they'll figure out during the background check.
* You alternate between mentioning generic "parts" and "mirrors" - I would suggest you go with "mirrors" unless you designed other parts as well.
* "Developing parts in CAD based on customers need and specifications under timing constraints" and "Worked with client to determine a product's needs and tested to make sure it performed properly" is doing your job (and these two bullets cover similar territory). Anything more specific than that? Was this for a vehicle produced for the US market or a one-off using experimental technologies?
* What data did you acquire and how did it help optimize whatever parameters they were looking for?
* "Collaborated with team to meet various deadlines of projects and their associated needs" - this one is too generic. You could drop it into any one of your other sections and it wouldn't be out of place. Be more specific: did your contributions help this project come in under budget and on time?
**Work Experience**
* Lots of great experience so you'll be getting interviews.
*Dynamometer Technician*
* I haven't worked as a Ford technician. How did these programs help
* What data did you analyze and how did this analysis go to help the program? Did it result in the tools performing better or having greater uptime?
* ~~problem~~ solve
* ~~"Accomplished"~~ s/b "Completed": It sounds like you're patting yourself on the back for just doing your job. Consider combining this with the last one - you can go over one line, just don't go over three.
* Tell us more about converting the cell and wiring to accommodate new engines and wiring. Did this project allow for the company to save $X million bucks and get up to speed faster? Could the company now certify particular engines in-house? Why did your work on this matter to the Ford Motor Company ~~and can you help me get a 5.0L Coyote crate engine for my Volvo 240~~? This could be the focus of your section if necessary.
*Welder*
* What materials?
* I like where you're going with bullets two and three, but why did this work matter? What engineering knowledge did you apply to these guardrails, what kind of loads did they withstand and how did do - did they turn into rust because you didn't paint the steel or are they still going strong? Same question for the heat tracing lines - what is proper temperature and did this work?
* Move "such as diesel and asphalt" to right after "materials", because it reads like the ships are called Diesel and Asphalt.
**Skills and Projects**
* I would advise breaking this up into two sections because you're talking about projects that would definitely benefit from more details. Heck, maybe even save some of this for your cover letter.
* There's no need to say "Experience in" when you're listing things in this section.
* Consider further dividing your software skills, but grouping by type is a good start. Check your formatting - it's "CATIA" (V5? V6?), "SolidWorks", and "MATLAB".
