TEXTBOOKS:

Engineering Skills for Career Success, First Edition, with James Watson, McGraw-Hill, February, 2013. This textbook is meant to be used as part of a freshman engineering experience and deals with such topics as how to get the most out of your education, how to earn outstanding grades with less effort and more fun, how to become actively involved with the educational process, how to take advantage of out of the classroom opportunities to enhance your education, and how to make your undergraduate educational experiences part of your career path. In addition, it gives the students several exercises to maximize the development of the engineering skills identified in the ABET 2000 criteria. The book has a strong systems approach emphasis as well as a fundamental understanding of project management.

INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES:

Knowledge Capturing Integrated Design Environment (KCIDE), developed with research funds from NASA and the Department of Energy. This is currently under development and will take a number of years before it is completed.

IEEE Potentials, an IEEE magazine for student members created in the early 1980s by Jon McDearman and me. The main focus of the magazine is to enhance the student members’ academic development as well as their professional development.

ProSkills, an expansion of WRITETALK (occurred in 2002) to include educational modules for the instruction, development, and enhancement of the necessary skills identified in ABET EC 2000, elements of working in a modern knowledge capturing integrated design environment, elements of the systems approach to engineering, and project management.

WRITETALK originally developed in 1983 by James Watson, Wayne Bennett, and Charles Alexander, to teach students how to be better communicators (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). This was done through a series of instructional modules to be given in many of the students’ main engineering courses. This was later expanded to include many of the skills identified in ABET’s EC 2000.

Laboratory Centric Curricula, while as a graduate student at Ohio University, I helped developed a laboratory centric curriculum for the electrical engineering department. I have used this template at other schools with success.

Instrumentation prepared a twenty-eight lecture-demonstration series on instrumentation and was the principal performer in the videotaping of the series. The series was professionally produced and taped on 2" broadcast quality tapes. Summer, 1972, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, this project was partially funded by An NSF.
