Recent Activities

        Development of an Introduction to Engineering Course, UOP - Fall 1999.
                Significant updating of an in-place course.  Key components include Hands-On Laboraties involving the Design Process (two competitions:
                Egg-Drop and Cardboard Vessel), Communication Skills (Verbal and Written), Reverse Engineering, Webpage Development, Student Portfolios,
                Engineering Ethics, etc.

        PI - “Web-Based Multimedia Modules for Laboratory Courses,” LaBoR ($25,000), 1998-2000.
                Two-year project to fully develop and implement multimedia modules in the Materials Testing Laboratory Courses at both LSU and Southern
                University.  Anticipate developing 12 complete modules that will be accessible on the www and disseminating the method/template for
                implementation in other lab courses.

        PI - “JFAP/SE Inter-Campus Composite Materials Class Projects,” LaBoR ($25,000), 1999-2001.
                Introductory senior/master’s level Composite Materials courses will be taught simultaneously at LSU and Southern University by the two JFAP
                appointments in Mechanical Engineering.  Projects involving the fabrication, machining, testing and analysis of laminates will be addressed by
                Inter-Campus Project Teams.

        PI - “Multimedia Modules for Laboratory Course Preparation,” LSU/IGA ($1,700), 1997-1998.
                Enhancement of the undergraduate engineering laboratory experience through Multimedia.  Experimental background, set-up, procedures, etc.
