Work with Eric
Eric Tatua
Senior Consultant: Engineering, History & Politics
“I operate at the intersection of technical precision and historical context. Whether deriving inverse kinematics for a robotic arm or analyzing the geopolitics of the Cold War, I ensure every argument is structurally sound and evidence-based.”
Professional Profile
Eric Tatua is a Senior Academic Consultant with a unique dual specialization in Engineering (Mechatronics) and Social Sciences (Political Science/History). This multidisciplinary background enables him to handle complex assignments that require both quantitative analysis and qualitative argumentation.
For STEM students, Eric provides rigorous technical support in robotics, control systems, and project management. He ensures mathematical models are accurate, code is functional, and technical reports meet IEEE or other industry standards. His approach to engineering is grounded in clarity: identifying the problem, defining the constraints, and documenting the solution logic step-by-step.
In the Humanities, Eric leverages his Master’s in Political Science to assist students with international relations, historical analysis, and policy papers. He applies the same analytical rigor used in engineering to deconstruct historical events and political theories, ensuring arguments are logical, evidence-based, and free of logical fallacies.
The Value of Multidisciplinary Expertise
Why Hiring a Polymath Matters
Modern academic problems rarely exist in a vacuum. Engineering projects often require an understanding of regulatory policy, while political science papers frequently discuss the impact of technology on society. Eric’s dual background allows him to:
-
Contextualize Technical Solutions:
Explain not just how a technology works, but its ethical and societal implications (e.g., AI ethics, renewable energy policy).
-
Structure Arguments Logically:
Apply the structured, problem-solving logic of engineering to humanities essays, resulting in tighter, more coherent arguments.
-
Interpret Data Accurately:
Bring statistical and quantitative rigor to social science research papers, ensuring data is interpreted correctly.
Ideal Projects for Eric
Consultation Methodology
1. Structural Planning
“Every assignment begins with a structural plan. In engineering, this means defining variables and equations. In humanities, it means outlining the thesis statement and supporting evidence points before writing begins.”
2. Data Verification
“I verify all inputs. For history papers, I cross-reference primary sources to confirm factual accuracy. For technical papers, I run preliminary calculations or simulations to ensure the proposed solution is viable.”
3. Technical Editing
“Ambiguity undermines grades. I edit for precision, ensuring technical terms are used correctly and arguments flow logically. I differentiate between passive voice for lab reports and active voice for persuasive essays.”
Technical Reporting Standards
In engineering assessments, communication is as critical as calculation. A correct answer presented poorly often results in a lower grade. Eric focuses on adhering to industry-standard technical reporting formats (IEEE, ASME).
-
Reproducibility:
Describing experimental setups and design processes with enough detail that peers could replicate the work independently.
-
Data Interpretation:
Providing narrative context for data visualizations, explaining trends, outliers, and error margins (e.g., Root Mean Square Error).
-
Documentation:
Including comprehensive comments in code and pseudocode explanations in reports to demonstrate algorithmic logic.
Sample Technical Projects

MS Project
Gantt charts, resource allocation, and critical path analysis.
JSTOR & IEEE Xplore
Access to primary historical documents and technical engineering papers.
Historical & Political Analysis
The Challenge of Historiography
History is an argument about the past, not merely a record of events. Political Science examines the mechanisms of power. Students often falter by describing what happened rather than analyzing why it matters or how interpretations differ.
When writing for humanities disciplines, I emphasize Historiography—analyzing competing schools of thought (e.g., Revisionist vs. Orthodox perspectives on the Cold War). This transforms a simple narrative into a scholarly critique.
Analytical Toolkit
-
Primary Source Analysis:
Interrogating documents (treaties, letters, speeches) for bias, intent, and historical context.
-
Theoretical Frameworks:
Applying Realism, Liberalism, or Constructivism to explain international relations events.
-
Comparative Politics:
Using the “Method of Difference” or “Method of Agreement” to compare political systems and outcomes.
Client Feedback for Eric
“Eric’s efficiency is exceptional. He handled my Mechanical Engineering capstone regarding fluid dynamics and then helped me write a History elective paper the next week. Both were excellent.”
“I was struggling with the project management WBS and Gantt chart. Eric used MS Project to create professional visuals that impressed my professor.”
Ask Eric
Can you help with technical engineering software?
Yes. I am proficient in MATLAB, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and MS Project. I can generate the necessary files, screenshots, and technical documentation required for your engineering assignments.
How do you handle large research papers?
For dissertations or capstones, I use a milestone approach. We break the work into chapters (Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, etc.) and I deliver them progressively for your feedback.
Do you write about current political events?
Absolutely. Political science requires currency. I stay updated on global affairs (e.g., elections, conflicts, treaties) and integrate recent developments into your analysis to keep it relevant.
