During this year he took graduate level <br /> courses in the Mathematics Department and the Department of Environmental � <br /> Engineering. The focus of these studies was directed toward gaining an understanding <br /> of the mathematics and architecture of three-dimensiona� finite element groundwater and <br /> contaminant transport modeling software. As a result of these efforts, he obtained <br /> computational experience optimizing a three-dimensional finite element groundwater flow <br /> modeling code and adapting the code to the parallel processing architecture on Convex <br /> and Cray supercomputers. <br /> September, 1978 to December, 1989❑�0 0�Malcolm Pirnie, inc. <br /> White Plains, NY <br /> Senior Associate: (1985-1989) <br /> o�As a Senior Project Manager: He was responsible for ali aspects of project <br /> management on projects for Malcolm Pirniea€T""s clients in the following areas: 1) <br /> telemetry and systems control and dafa acquisition, 2) computer based mapping, 3) <br /> database management, 4) computer based water and sewer system capital planning, <br /> and 5) the implementaA�tion of operations data and maintenance management <br /> software. He directed a project to assist the Government of Antigua with the <br /> establishment of a Nationa( Data Center <br /> o�As Manager of Computer Facilities: He managed in-house support and applications <br /> development for the computer-aided design, engineering, and A�accounting and project <br /> management computer systems. He directiy supervised a staff of 10 programmers and <br /> engineers, and in this capacity he managed the business plan, capital and operating <br /> budgets and research/development of in-house and direct market applications. The <br /> major tasks he accomplished in this period of tine included replacement of the computer. <br /> system used for accounting and praject management, implementation of advanced uses <br /> of the CAD system for mapping and engineering analysis, and the development and <br /> marketing of software for water and wastewater tacility operations. <br /> Senior Project Engineer: (1983-1984) <br /> o�He developed the so called integrafied software approach to water and sewer system <br /> hydraulic analysis and design. This approach, which incorporated database <br /> management, hydraulic analysis and computer aided design software, was known as <br /> WATERNET and SEWERNET, respectively, for water distribution and sewer <br /> collecA�tion systems. He successfully applied this approach to a number of system <br /> study and planning projects for Malcolm Pirniea€T""s clients. Two significant <br /> SEWERNET projects, which provided the basis for technical papers he authored and <br /> presented at national conferences, were completed for the City of Orlando, Florida, and <br /> Pima County, Arizona. <br /> o�Mr. Hughes also served as part of a three-person committee responsible for selection <br /> and implementation of Malcolm Pirniea€T""s first computer aided design system. <br />
