Instructional Development |
| Chemical Engineering Pollution Prevention Option Responsible for development of undergraduate pollution prevention option curriculum. This was approved in Spring 1998. Jointly responsible for student recruiting and advising with Dr. Michael Overcash |
| Center for Interfacial Engineering (CIE) – University of Minnesota Fluid Mechanics Workshop, August 7-9, 1997. Participant in a three day workshop on development of innovative approaches to teaching fluid mechanics. Have begun to incorporate CD-ROM Fluid Mechanics Engineering modules into CHE curriculum. |
