10 After completing his Bachelor of Sci- ence in Civil Engineering from Utah State University, Zach received a Presidential Fellowship from the USU Civil Engineer- ing Department where he continued his graduate studies. He received his Master of Science in Civil Engineering (Structural Emphasis) in 2007. In 2008, Zach presented a techni- cal paper, “Structural Health Monitoring: Long-Term, Real-Time Ambient Vibration Monitoring System,” to the World Structures Congress in Vancouver, British Columbia. Since joining ARW Engineers in 2007, Zach has built an impressive resume of projects requiring complex design techniques. He received his Utah Professional Engineer license in 2011 and is eligible to receive his SE license in 2013. Zach contributes to multiple organizations and is a founding member of the Utah Chapter of the Earthquake Engineering Re- search Institute. Zach continues to grow personally and professionally having recently accepted a position at FLSmidth Miner- als in Salt Lake City, Utah as a Senior Engineer. Ryan Sandoval has been in the engi- neering profession in Utah for four years since graduating from Utah State Univer- sity with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechani- cal Engineering. He first worked at ATK Propulsion on the propellant casting pro- cess. Ryan has worked for the Minute- man III program office at Hill Air Force Base for over two years in missile motor transportation and handling. In that short time, Ryan played a vital role in support- ing field operations and improving processes for repair of Minuteman III vehicles and associated equipment. He has done considerable work with manufacturers and customers in developing replacements for aging transportation and handling systems. Ryan’s commu- nication skills led to positive relationships with main- tenance technicians, providing concise responses and always considering user inputs. His efforts have been crucial in familiarizing and training Air Force personnel in the skills, processes, and infrastructure necessary for supporting Minuteman III transportation and handling equipment.
