\n\t\tNorth Smithfield resident to graduate from 溏心vlog免费B站 on May 17<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 6, 2009 \u2013 Adam Muratori spent a year studying and working in Germany as part of his curriculum at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s International Engineering Program. As he looks toward graduation on May 17, he knows that it was his time in Germany that led to the job in Rhode Island that he will start next month.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve always been into computers, taking stuff apart, learning how things work,\u201d said the North Smithfield native. \u201cThat interest translated into the study of electrical engineering when I came to 溏心vlog免费B站.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWhen he enrolled in the International Engineering Program, he knew he was also going to have to study a foreign language, so he picked German.

\n\t\u201cI never had an interest in German or Germany previous to college,\u201d he said, \u201cbut a lot of people associate engineering with Germany. They\u2019re very efficient. After my time there, I\u2019m quite comfortable with the language, though still not perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tDuring the five months that Muratori spent studying at the Technical University of Braunschweig in the fall of 2007, he was exposed to new cultures and observed how German and American academic strengths differ.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI found that Americans are a bit more well-rounded,\u201d he said. \u201cThe German school system concentrates on some subjects earlier than we do here, so they might have a little more technical knowledge than most college-level Americans, but I would say that Americans can write better reports and have stronger communication skills.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tFollowing his classroom experience in Germany, Muratori worked for six months at Continental Corp., an automotive electronics company in the middle of the Black Forest in the city of Villingen-Schwenningen. The division had been purchased from Siemens several weeks before he began work.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI worked mostly on GPS [global positioning system] analysis as a test engineering intern,\u201d he explained. \u201cMy boss had a truck that he drove around the Black Forest, and I had to optimize the GPS reception inside of the truck\u2019s tolling system, making sure that as he drove through tall forests and mountainous terrain that the system worked well in all of these areas.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tMuratori\u2019s GPS work included testing and analysis of various types of antennas, which he hadn\u2019t studied much about before going to Germany. But it soon became a subject of great interest, so much so that he has been hired by Applied Radar Inc. at Quonset Point for a job he will start soon after graduation. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe company, a defense contractor, makes phased array antenna systems that Muratori said \u201csimulate large scanning antennas with an array of fixed, electronically controlled smaller antennas.\u201d He expects to start out doing programming, but he hopes to eventually work on the design of new antenna systems.<\/p>\n


\n\tA former high school soccer and tennis player, Muratori wants to work his way into a project management position, and perhaps go to graduate school to earn a master\u2019s degree in electrical engineering with a concentration in antenna design.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cBut I want to learn the ins and outs before I get to that,\u201d he said. \u201cMy main goal right now is to lay the groundwork and get some good experience. It\u2019s why I\u2019m going to work first before graduate school.\u201d<\/p>\n
