Shane Lowney - Why Mechanical Engineering?

-
Shane Lowney knew he wanted to be a mechanical engineer when he was in high school. He was already interested in how things work, especially machines and robots. He was one of those kids who took things apart and tried to put them back together again to find out how they worked. He knew he wanted to design his own devices and machines one day, and he excelled in classes at school like auto shop and engineering design and drawing. Lowney followed his passions and eventually earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the Florida Institute of Technology in 2002 so that he could work in the field he felt most accustomed to and talented at. 

Shane Lowney encourages young people today to take an interest in mechanical engineering because he says the discipline studies how things work and how our world is put together. Indeed, since the height of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-19th century, machines and robots have become a part of the human experience and the key to producing the many products and services most of us rely on in our everyday lives Lowney wanted to further understand how the modern world works and how things are produced using the latest factory and production technology, so he studied Mechanical Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology and today, he helps businesses produce safely and efficiently. 

Shane Lowney works with a variety of businesses producing a wide variety of products and services throughout the Tampa, Florida area.

Shane Lowney - Presenting Yourself on Paper

Showing potential employers how valuable you can be without meeting them is extremely difficult. However, the purpose of Resumes, CVs, Cover Letters, and applications is to allow employers and HR departments to get a feel for who you are before meeting you.

In the 1980’s three major freezes occurred in the central Florida area of Hillsborough County in the United States, causing such significant losses that farmers sold their citrus groves to developers who built subdivisions on them.  Another cold snap in 2010 damaged great stretches of tropical foliage and plantings in the city of Tampa, where Shane Lowney has lived and worked all his life.  The production of citrus is a source of pride and a central livelihood to the residents of Tampa and Hillsborough County, and Lowney shares Florida’s temperature-watching every winter. The Tampa which mechanical engineer Shane Lowney knows today has a population over 346,000 souls within a 4-county Greater Tampa Bay area population of over 4 million.  These statistics are a far cry from the Tampa Bay discovered by the Spanish in the 16th century.  From the moment the Spanish set foot on the shores of Tampa Bay, indigenous populations of Native Americans; the Tocobaga, the Pohoy, and the Calusa, w
