Yeah, no worries. Like most people will mention any time someone is reading a resume or cover letter they want to be able to quickly glance through it and get the useful information. People aren't going to read something that hits like a wall of text. I've sent out hundreds of cover letters like this and people don't read them.
 

Seeing as you've done projects in school I would lead on that as something that qualifies you as a potential candidate. I would lower your cover letter to three paragraphs. A brief introduction, what qualifies you as a candidate, and the last paragraph with a call to action. I strongly recommend:

    There are plenty of sample cover letters for different jobs that you can work with. I like the content that you have in your cover letter, but I would orient towards and accomplishment/qualification oriented resume. I'll show you how I ordered mine so you get a basic idea. Good Luck!

    To whom it may concern,
     

    I am writing to introduce myself with the hope that I may be considered for an entry-level to intermediate role as a Mechanical Engineer. I offer more than two years hands on experience, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to personal and company success.
     

    Representative of my qualifications and accomplishments:

  • Designed and conceptualized systems for testing and analysis in a research environment.

  • Extensive multi-disciplinary skills in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering.

  • Prepared technical documents, proposals, engineering documents, and specifications to outline project
    requirements, scope of work, budget, and scheduling.

  • Conducted experiments, catalogued data, performed statistical analysis, and developed numerical models for predicting responses based on several variables.

  • Strong Interpersonal skills, Goal oriented, Self-Starter, and Problem Solver.
     

    I work hard, contribute, collaborate, and strive to deliver strong and sustained contributions to organizational goals. I learn quickly, thrive on challenges, and am flexible in adapting to new environments. I am always willing to go the extra mile, no matter what the task. As part of a team I always work to find the best solutions and reach for higher goals.
     

    I believe that I would be a strong fit for this position and if given the opportunity I would strive to exceed your expectations. I would welcome the opportunity to interview for this position and discuss the results you can expect from me as a member of your team. Thank you for your consideration.
     

    Sincerely,
