H. Felix Lee is a professor in Industrial Engineering at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. He holds a Ph.D. in industrial and operations engineering from the University of Michigan. His area of interest is in 3D modeling and applications, CAD/CAM/CAE, manufacturing system design and planning, and computer simulation and OR. He renovated the industrial and manufacturing engineering curriculum with introduction of CAD/CAM/CAE and 3D modeling applications to manufacturing systems, and has taught Boeing engineers on the subjects for about 20 years. He was a recipient of NSF grants on developing a supply-chain manufacturing system and on developing an integrated design-aid tool for flexible manufacturing systems, and of AHA (American Heart Association) grant on volumetric assessment of epicardial adipose tissue using echocardiography . He authored a book on CAD on Unigraphics: Engineering Design in Computer Integrated Design and Manufacturing. His papers appear in numerous refereed journals, books, and proceedings. In 2004, he organized the CAD/CAM/CAE student design contest in the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) World Conference and chaired the first five contests in 2004 through 2008. Lee is a member of SME, IIE, Tau Beta Pi, and Phi Kappa Phi.
