Fastway Engineering Founder & Managing Director Jim Shaw has over 16 years of high-level engineering experience and is a leading expert in computer aided design (CAD) finite element analysis (FEA), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). As a consultant and a trainer, Jim Shaw has raised the bottom line of dozens of companies and enriched the careers and capacities of hundreds of students. Jim grew up driving stick shift around the hilly roads of New England and soon became a "gearhead". His first job in high school was working for a used car dealership, washing cars and helping the mechanics. This spawned his interest in mechanical engineering, entrepreneurship, and also fueled his obsession with auto racing. Jim holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, a Masters of Business Administration from Babson, and still likes to pretend that he’ll cinch a Formula One title someday. Until that happens, you can reach him at jshaw@fastwayengineering.com.
