Teaching
- Over past three years have led change from purely freshman program to the creation of graduate courses and educational research.
- Developed and taught two of our first three graduate courses: "Preparing for the Engineering Professoriate" (Spring 2004)
- Currently teaching graduate course "Teaching Engineering" - a mixed live classrom and distance learning class.
- Leading effort to continue development of MS and PhD degrees in engineering education.
