Here are a few words Jacob Thweatt, my FPGA mentor at Emerson, had to say about me: 

"Overall, Ryan is one of the strongest workers I have ever seen. His communication skills, intellect, and work ethic are very impressive, and he will be a gift to any team and project he works on." 



"After just three months of work, Ryan completed the FPGA code and was able to successfully emulate a CHARM entirely in an FPGA." 



"His project was a success and has enabled us to take the next steps in reducing the hardware complexity of the CHARMs design, and drastically reducing the cost of the product line."

Here are a few words Charles Eastberg, my Hardware Design manager at Emerson, had to say about me: 

"He successfully completed the schematic design and layout of several circuit boards, including an LED board based on the 555 timer IC that will be used for a customer demo this fall, and several adapter boards that will be used in products to bring value to our customers."


"Most impressively, he was able to navigate our product safety standards and board stackup material specifications for rigid-flex PCB’s due to the high voltage signals passing through some of the adapter types."


"Ryan is eager to learn, has great communication and problem-solving skills, is passionate about engineering, and has an outstanding work ethic."

Here are a few words Haley Strahan, the director of student outreach and engagement for the College of Engineering, had to say about me: 

"I have known and worked with Ryan for almost four years. In that time, Ryan has become one of our most active and involved students on campus, and will leave his mark through many new and improved programs when he graduates."



"Ryan also consulted with us to create curriculum for a summer robotics camp, and leads the program each summer."



"I have no doubt that we will be hearing great things about him well into the future, and any company who has the pleasure of hiring him will be lucky to have him on their team."

Here are a few words Dr. Thibodeaux, the dean of the Honors College and dean of the Texas Academy at Lamar University, had to say about me: 

"Mr. Shugart has demonstrated to me a willingness to take on new tasks and be successful while also going above and beyond in all that he does."



"Mr. Shugart has consistently shown a positive attitude in the spirit of personal and academic achievement in the Reaud Honors College at Lamar University. He very easily finds solutions to problems and thinks critically, with a passion to help others grow around him."



"He is humble, while at the same time, develops new avenues of thinking as he works collaboratively with others. He is a very unique individual with a sense of purpose and mission in all that she does, exhibiting potential to lead and work with others in all settings."

Here are a few words Mr. Jurek, my high school engineering teacher who inspired me to pursue engineering, had to say about me: 

"I have witnessed his abilities, and growth, these past three years in the different classroom environments."



"He has a great work ethic, is always ready to get started, and will see anything he is working on through to the very end."



"I know that Ryans future is very bright and he will continue to do great things. He is hardworking, dedicated, focused, and committed in everything he does."
