Attended Third International Conference on
Engineering Graphics and Descriptive Geometry, Vienna, Austria, July 1988
(paper presented).
Attended Mechanical Engineering experimental course
(1987) to enhance problem solving skills by the application of numerical
methods and computer graphics to mechanical systems.
Member of the USA Coordinating Committee for the
Third International Conference on Descriptive Geometry and Engineering
Graphics held in Vienna, Austria, July 1988.
Member of an ad hoc committee investigating the
feasibility of an interdisciplinary capstone design effort in the College of
Engineering (1987-89).
Coordinator of the workstation subgroup within the
Engineering Computing and Informa tion Laboratory (ECIL). Responsible for the
College of Engineering activity in configuring a network of workstations for
the College of Engineering/University (1987-present).
Developed a sophomore-level course beginning in the
spring semester of 1987. The course introduced modeling and analysis of
geometry for engineering design purposes. Computer-aided-design techniques
and computer graphics are used extensively. The course is the first of its
kind aimed at introducing modern techniques for the design of two and three
dimensional geometries to the engineering student just beginning the study of
design.
