Kept looking for the punch line (ie: "took his nose apart to see what made it run" as work experience), thinking it was a continuation of the abuse of engineers on this list. When I saw that it was for real I chuckled out loud. Thought some of you would get, and could use, a chuckle too. SOON!

I don't have a working experience as an engineer because I have just graduated. However, I'm able to learn things quikly and in depth. In fact, I graduated before the term of 5 years, first of my crowded class, together with another person, and I got maximum grades. I have a good knowledge of stress and structures, since I studied sujects such as Construction theory, Machine construction (Intermediate and Advanced) and Vibration mechanics. Moreover, my degree thesis was about the modelling of a flexible structure, for application on satellite attitude control. I also have a good knowledge of automatic control and robotics.
