Shane Lowney

Shane Lowney was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and lives there now with his wife, Christine. He works as a mechanical engineer for a local factory, helping to manage their heavy machinery by ensuring that it is properly operated, up-to-date, and in good repair. He also designs mechanisms for other companies to use in their own operations. He loves Tampa and, unlike many other proud residents of other towns around the United States, wants others to move to his town to see what life is like there. Here are the top three reasons why Lowney recommends living in Tampa: The outdoors. Tampa has lush foliage, complete with palm trees and spectacular beaches. There is also an abundance of rivers, lakes, and whispering streams to dip your feet in when the salty water becomes too much. The weather. Protected by Tampa Bay, the city of Tampa has excellent average temperatures all year. Shane Lowney works with farmers who love the fact that it only freezes a few times a year. A steady Gulf bree...

Shane Lowney earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the Florida Technology Institute in Melbourne, Florida in 2002 and moved back home to Tampa to work for a local factory as a machine expert. He also designs machines and machine parts for other companies in the area and helps to repair heavy machinery when it breaks down. Over time, Lowney has refined his many skills and built some new ones in his work for several clients around town. When he was studying for his degree, he had to hone some of his natural talents into marketable skills that he could use to get a job after graduation.  Shane Lowney and other mechanical engineers like him have to possess a deep understanding of how machines are designed to work. They have to understand the finer points of engineering in general before they can move on to working with machines in different contexts doing what they are designed to do. Engineers have to be able to look at a design and figure out what a piece of equipment or ot...

Together they enjoy the beauty of Tampa today. Shane Lowney’s decision to enter Florida Tech was a natural progression of the insight and understanding of mathematics and science which he had displayed throughout his formative years in Tampa.  Lowney entered an in...

Engineering is a broad term used to describe the application of empirical evidence, math, and economic, social, scientific, and practical knowledge. This application is then further used to design, build, and maintain machines, systems, structures, and processes. The term itself can be dated back to 1300. As a discipline, Engineering encompasses an array of specialized fields with different emphases on specific areas of applied science and technology.  Shane Lowney is a graduate of the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) who garnered a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Shane specializes in designing and manufacturing weapon systems, transportation products, and engines. Other branches of Engineering include Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Systems.  These are just a few of the main categories. Engineering as a whole has an extensive list of sub-disciplines derived from extensions of the main branches. There is also typically an overlap between Engineering and Scienc...

The dream to fly is often shared by many as children.  While the dream may evolve a little bit to something more attainable sometimes this dream also continues into adulthood.  This was certainly the case for Shane Lowney – a Tampa, Florida Mechanical Engineer. From a young age Shane knew he wanted to be in the sky.  He would spend countless hours daydreaming about not only flying but building an airplane of his own.  These dreams along with growing up the son of an Engineer are what attracted Shane to the idea of becoming involved in both piloting and Mechanical Engineering. Shane attended the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) where one of these dreams would begin to blossom into reality.  Here he met his future wife Christine, who only further motivated him to achieve his goals.  They both graduated with degrees in their own respective categories of Engineering. Shane has not yet built his dream plane.  However, he has fulfi...

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. Technically speaking, the documents mentioned above are to present your qualifications to an employer or department and show you are qualified for a job. However, it is quite common for multiple qualified people to apply for the same position. Because of job searching becoming streamlined on the Internet, it is common for some positions to get hundreds of applications. Should an employer have to interview every single qualified candidate? It is unlikely that they will when there are so many people who fit the bill. Instead, they or the HR department will usually pick the application materials that stand out to them. When getting an interview for a job only depends on how well you present yourself on paper, it becomes necessary ...
