Technical Writing and Database Development
Excerpt from the Powertrain Vehicle Inventory
Database Manual This manual demonstrates both
my writing and database design skills. I wrote it
for a database that I developed for
DaimlerChryslers Powertrain group in order to
track test vehicles. The target audience for the
piece included administrative assistants
throughout the Powertrain group, some of whom had
little experience with databases. GateKeeper (CAN
to J1850 Communications Gateway) Data Sheet This
datasheet is targeted towards automotive
engineers who need to bridge the gap between
disparate communication systems within a vehicle,
during development.

this copy for a German CAN (Controller Area
Network) data logging device that was being sold
in the United States by DGE. Online Catalog Copy
for an Engagement Ring This copy was written for
the web site of a consortium of independent
jewelers, the AIJ Network.

Technical Writing Powertrain Vehicle Inventory
Manual Excerpt

• Finding Vehicles Assigned to Any Department
•  
• From the Main Menu, select "Search All
  Departments Vehicles (View Only).
• The All Departments Vehicles Search Screen
  will appear. Select any vehicle characteristics
  that you want to search for using the pull-down
  menus. In the example below, were looking for a
  300M on order (ORDR).

Note The is the wild card character. All
fields default to it on the search screen, except
for the Status field. The Status field defaults
to ACTV (Active).

• Click the Search button at the bottom of the
  screen. The Vehicle Information screen will
  appear. All vehicles that match your search
  criteria will be available. In this example, only
  one vehicle matches our criteria, as shown in the
  Record Navigator. If there were more than one
  record that matched, we could browse through them
  using the first four arrows on the Record
  Navigator.

Marcom Advertising and Catalog Copy
Advertising Copy for CAN-Spy by Lipowsky
CAN-Spy is
a compact and easy-to-use CAN-bus diagnostic and
simulation tool that dramatically speeds up and
simplifies the engineering process. Whether you
are troubleshooting a CAN-bus-related problem
or developing a new module for a CAN bus,
CAN-Spy can prove invaluable. While
CAN-Spy can transmit and display CAN messages,
its real time-saving characteristic is its
ability to scale and display the recorded data in
engineering units with text names. Tedious manual
scaling and conversions are things of the past.
The tool can be used in a standalone mode or can
be configured using a PC. CAN-Spy messages are
capable of linking to real-world analog and
digital I/O via a DB-25 connector for real-time
stimulus and measurement.
Catalog Copy for an Engagement Ring
This beautiful contemporary bridal set features a
1/5-carat round diamond suspended over waves of
finely crafted 14K white gold. A total of eight
channel-set rounds flow out from the center
stone to each shoulder, while two more prong-set
diamonds further enhance the fluid beauty of
this truly exceptional ensemble.

Web Development Design
Design for the Detroit Engineering Center Web Page
I designed the site below using Dreamweaver. For
the graphic element at the top of the page, I
used Photoshop to combine a stock photo of a
keyboard, a schematic, and a picture of an
employee. I also created the accent graphic on
the right of the page

Design for DaimlerChrysler Powertrain Automatic
Transmission Groups Intranet Publication Page
I designed the site below using Dreamweaver. For
the graphic element at the top of the page, I
used Photoshop to combine an abstract rendition
of a circuit board with a photo of a Jeep Liberty.

Applicant Skill Level Test
After working with engineers to develop the
questions, I scripted an online quiz, using ASP,
to evaluate applicant's software engineering
capabilities. The results were available to
recruiters via a secure site.

Graphic Design Logos
Future Logo for DGE Electronics Division
I used Illustrator to create the logo below for
DGE's new electronics division. It combines the
legacy logo from the parent company with a green
flourish to add interest.
Logo for Detroit Engineering Center
I designed the logo below using Visio. At the
time, it was the only vector imaging software
available at the Center.
Logo for William Kissel Associates Engineering
The three logos below were designed as proposals
for an Engineering Management consulting firm.
