Personally... I'd drop out the Interests and activities section.

Have the order be:
education
experience
projects
skills
coursework

yep everyone else was telling me to drop interests. I don't think I can drop the activities because it shows the club i'm associated with that is related to my major

All of these are just possible things to think about. Nothing has to be done. I don't see glaring errors.

Under your experience, the first bullet point is combining a lot of ideas. Would it be more clear separated?

* Interpret customer requirements and engineering drawings.
* Create or modify drawings to be feasible for manufacturing.

3-in-1 baton. You mention the telescoping ability 3 times. You could drop everything after the word 'attachment'.

Could move the ASME into the projects section (assuming you were actively involved). Of course, you'd have to rename it from 'projects'. Or maybe just rename 'activities' to something else. It just doesn't sit right with me.

Are you sending it off to a specific company with a specific job in mind? If so, the objective could apply that specific knowledge.

Would this read better? Designed an automated, pneumatic fixture that cures heat shrink at the end of aneurysm repairing catheters.
