What he does now:
Manager - Modeling Simulation Analysis and Test (MSA&T),
Armed Robotic Vehicle (ARV), United Defense LP.
The mission of the United Defense LP is to
mitigate risk with design. This process includes
physics-based modeling, software testbeds, a
System Integration Lab (SIL), System of Systems
Integration Lab (SoSIL), and physical field test.
Prior to his current position, Dr. Conlan
worked in the John Deere construction equipment
division progressing through the following jobs:
Human Factors Engineer, Senior Virtual Reality
Engineer, and Supervisor. He also spent time with
the Dynamic Systems Modeling Group as supervisor
of the Performance Evaluation Group.
Why he recommends Cal Poly's BRAE
department:
"Cal Poly taught me to think, plan and
execute. It was the first time in my life that I
felt interested and challenged at the same time.
Cal Poly pushed my thought process and my
mathematical skills, focused my thoughts on issues
of interest. Biggest thing I learned is you never
stop learning; progression is a continuous state
of learning. Education on its own needs to be
balanced with some practical experience, so learn
to apply your education before getting too much.
If you are taking classes and can think of how to
apply it in your daily non-school activities, this
is good."
