Bio
Kyle Cote
Maren Nelson is an excellent Faculty Adviser and provided guidance for the duration of my group's Senior Design Project over a nine month period. During this time she provided us with her extensive knowledge and directed us toward the correct resources aiding in our success in our project. Maren's insight into crucial areas of our project such as validation testing, document structure, and industry standards helped us to develop a polished product with excellent results. Communication between Maren and our group was efficient and provided enough insight to allow our group members to make good decisions to yield our results. From my experience working with Maren, I'd highly recommend her as a Faculty Adviser for any future projects.

Maren was the Engineering Director at Physio-Control when I joined the organization. As such, she had the majority of the engineering staff reporting into her. She was vital in efforts to improve the effectiveness of the organization. She is always focused on having effective processes in place, while simultaneously getting the right folks in the right roles. Her intelligence and level-headedness garner the respect of everyone that works with her. I look forward to having the chance to work with Maren again at some point.
