teachingbackground. Throughout his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he held teaching assistantships in the departments of mechanical engineering, electricalengineering, and mathematics. His primary duties were highly interactive, and includedlecturing, supervising and guiding students in laboratory settings, and guiding discussionsessions. Courses he was either solely or jointly responsible for included pre-calculus algebra,vibrations, acoustics, electrical communications, and instrumentation. During his tenure as afaculty in mechanical engineering at Purdue University, he taught a variety of courses in thesystems, instrumentation and controls division. He also developed and taught two cross-listedgraduate courses. One
