LUIS MADRIGAL
BIOGRAPHY
Luis Madrigal was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley. Having served six years in the United States Air Force, he received an honorable discharge and returned to the University of Texas RGV to complete his engineering degree. His first position in the field was with the Aero-Derivative Power Generation Division of the General Electric corporation. As Luis worked with industrial gas turbines, he learned the principles behind fluid dynamics, cooling load/transfer analysis, and high voltage load calculations. Upon qualifying as a licensed professional engineer, Luis started A&G Engineering. Our MEP design projects range from small 800 sq ft structure remodels, medium 40,000 sq ft shopping plazas, to large 400,000 sq ft aerospace production facilities. The company incorporates his own personal belief that while the client relationship may start with the engineering design process, it extends beyond it. He is one of forty engineers in the nation to be a part of the NCEES ME Committee tasked with creating FE exam questions required for PE licensing and one of sixteen engineers in the nation to be part of the NCEES Architectural Engineering Committee tasked with creating the PE exam.
