Melissa Bowers

I am a licensed & registered professional mechanical engineer. Passed the Principles and Practice Examination in Mechanical Engineering in December of 2014. That gave me my first state registration here in Arizona (PE 59235).  Associate Principal Plumbing Engineer at ARCXIS. I am in the engineer of record in several states for the plumbing drawings that go out to our clients. I help run the plumbing design department of our company under the leadership of my supervisor who is the Chief Mechanical Principal Engineer.  My company is the biggest national residential energy systems and MEP design firm in the country, ARCXIS (www.arcxis.com). Our goal is to help homebuilders build homes for all the people needing a place to live. Our clients range from homebuilding groups, to property managers who are looking to build to rent for all the new people moving not just to Arizona but throughout the United States.  21 years in the building MEP design industry (since September 2004) . Some states have an issue because my degree is 11 credit hours short of full fledged Engineering degree since it was in Engineering Management, so I am taking these courses to get those done. I have a lot of the pre-requisites I need to take the courses I am interested in from my Bachelor's degree.  Excited to be a 43 year old Sun Devil.
