Beginning in 2004, I led the effort to create a graduate program from scratch, culminating in a Ph.D. in Engineering Education, which accepted students in January 2008 and currently has 15 Ph.D. candidates. Have developed and taught or co-taught five new engineering education graduate courses: “Preparing for the Engineering Professoriate,” “Teaching Engineering,” “Practicum in the Engineering Classroom,” “Training System Design,” and “Foundations of Engineering Education.” Led the development of a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Education which is in place and has approximately 20 students participating. Presented the new courses and degree programs at all committees and commissions reviewing it for approval and also presented at the Board of Visitors and State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Served as Graduate Program Director from January 2008 to February 2009. Presented information on engineering education and our graduate program to a Virginia General Assembly subcommittee considering creation of K-12 level standards of learning and other programs in Virginia public schools.

In 2006 my department was one of two university departments designated as a University Exemplary Department for developing and sustaining innovative and effective departmental approaches to introductory courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. These awards are highly competitive and result in a $20,000 award to the department. As a group the faculty decided to spend the award on new office furniture as we moved into newly renovated space that I spent approximately two years working with the Provost and the Dean to obtain for the department. I am currently on the team that is providing design information for a new engineering building.

Worked with college development office personnel to gain gifts for laboratory renovation, facility maintenance, support for academic programs, and overall department support from both alumni and industry. Have obtained gifts in the form of cash, stock, hardware, and shop equipment.

Overall management of departmental budget of approximately $2M. In 11 years as department head, was never over budget, even though considerable resources were directed toward development of new courses, supporting the success of new faculty, creation of spaces for hands-on learning, and development of a PhD program. Department typically teaches 7,000-8,000 student credit hours annually.

Serving on the Program Assessment Committee of the Advisory Board for the University of Texas at El Paso College of Engineering. Regularly review papers for JEE, AEE, ASEE, ASME, iNEER. Served on NSF grant review panels twice for CCLI grants. Served on numerous College and University level committees. Most recently served on search committees for Director of Academic Assessment, Assistant Director of Academic Assessment, and Director of the Center for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. Served on the VT-Science Museum of Western Virginia Partnership Task Force and the Organizing Committee for the Governor’s Conference on STEM Education.

  August 1997 – May 2004, Professor and Director, Division of Engineering Fundamentals (renamed as Department of Engineering Education in 2004), College of Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061-0218
  

Instituted policies for common syllabi, common tests, and common final exams in introductory engineering courses. Currently responsible for managing enrollments, assigning faculty teaching loads, and overseeing development of EF teaching schedule. Have encouraged, with success, EF faculty to write grant proposals, leading to several faculty who buy out of courses with project money. Scholarly production is also increasing steadily.

  July 1993 – August 1997, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, College of Engineering, July 1994 – August 1997, Professor of Engineering Science & Mechanics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061-0217
  

During the period 1996-1998 I was the leader of the team that designed, oversaw the renovation, and directed the operations of the Joseph F. Ware, Jr. Advanced Engineering Laboratory. The Ware Lab, as it is popularly known, is one of a few such facilities in the country dedicated to undergraduate engineering projects. The Ware Lab (http://www.eng.vt.edu/warelab/) is a 10,000 square foot facility with a machine shop, welding shop, design studio, and work bays for student projects. Opened in September 1998, the Ware Lab has been a great success.

Courses taught include: ESM 1000, Statics; ESM 4044, Mechanics of Composite Materials; ESM 4734/AOE 4024, Introduction to the Finite Element Method; ESM 3074 (now 2074), Computational Methods; ESM 2004, Mechanics of Deformable Bodies; ESM 5184, Special Study (Scientific Visual Analysis); ESM 5734, Introduction to the Finite Element Method; ESM 6734, Finite Element Method; ME 4014, Design Studies in Mechanical Engineering (Mini-Baja car project); ME 4016, Engineering Design and Project (Mini-Baja car project); EF 1005, Introduction to Engineering. Have modernized several courses, including Computational Methods. To date have advised ten M.S. theses and seven Ph.D. dissertations.

  In 1993-94, I was the Principal Investigator at VPI&SU of SUCCEED Coalition, an eight-university consortium funded by NSF to conduct engineering education research. As a part of this research, I was responsible for monitoring all of the VPI&SU projects, control of the $100,000 plus administrative budget, and had authority and responsibility for determination of how to use the six FTE’s (approximate value $330,000 per year) associated with SUCCEED. I passed the SUCCEED responsibility along to an assistant dean because the demands on my time were too much considering my responsibilities to the undergraduate program.
