My name is Alejandro Holguín Prado, and I am a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering student at New Mexico State University (NMSU), originally from Chihuahua, Mexico. My academic formation has given me the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects that combine mechanical design, aerospace applications, and computational simulations.

I have developed strong technical skills in CAD/CAE design with NX and SolidWorks, stress and deformation analysis, MATLAB simulations for orbital mechanics, and CNC manufacturing processes. My portfolio includes projects such as the design and competition of an ornithopter, rocket engine stress analysis, orbital mechanics simulations validated with NASA data, and the creation of a wind tunnel prototype. Additionally, I am the founder of the Formula SAE gasoline team at NMSU, where I have applied both engineering design principles and leadership in building a competitive foundation for future racing projects.

Beyond academics, I gained hands-on experience in international collaboration as part of Aggies Without Limits, where I contributed to engineering solutions in rural Nicaragua, including the construction of a health center, bridge reinforcement, and water distribution systems. These experiences strengthened my ability to apply engineering knowledge in real-world environments with tangible social impact.

I am passionate about aerospace structures, propulsion, and advanced simulations, and I thrive in multidisciplinary teams where design, analysis, and innovation come together. My goal is to contribute to engineering projects in aerospace and mechanical industries, bringing a combination of technical expertise, problem-solving ability, and leadership skills to deliver results.
