Beginning about five years ago, the college began offering a master ofengineering degree that is not specialized in any particular engineering discipline. At that time, allnon-laboratory master’s courses in the college were required to include online sections that havebeen taught concurrently with the face-to-face sections. Faculty members teach both sections asone course assignment.The advanced engineering thermodynamics course had an initial enrollment of eight students at adistance who were pursuing their master of engineering degrees while employed full time andtwenty-eight on-campus students

When I was in a management position at the NationalSuperconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, I had the luxury of building my own team from theground up, and this included hiring many co-ops through the years. In my current position, wealso have a fair number of co-op students and interns, although they do not report to me.A perspective that I have developed from both sides of the fence - academic and industry -regarding student workers is in regards to expectation setting. It has been my experience thatstudents have unrealistically high expectations when it comes to the work assignments that theythink they should be getting during their co-op experiences. The reality is that student workersare often viewed as a source of cheap labor

, forexample, applying FEA to a common truss problem can help the student visualize the bending oftruss members and deformation in a way previously not possible. Use of FEA for studyingengineering concepts is similar to the inclusion of laboratory experiments in lecture-courses, toprovide reinforcement of core lecture material more effectively than a textbook16. Also, FEA canbe used to bridge the gap between traditional learning through textbooks, which are typicallycomprised of standard geometry, and applying those concepts to real world and design problemswith complex geometry, where knowledge gained from textbooks alone is not sufficient.

In addition to being a practicing physician, he leads a research laboratory focused on issues re- lated to bacterial fouling of materials. In the context of human health, the work concentrates on infections of implanted medical devices. In other contexts, his work focuses on ways to prevent, or even facili- tate, bacterial interactions with engineered surfaces. Examples of the former include preventing fouling of industrial surfaces. An example of the latter is the development of new technologies to enhance the detection of low-level bacterial contamination in clinical samples and food.Prof
