nanolithography and supported the development of a high-throughput, integrated monolith catalyst reactor system, the Monolith Loop Reactor. I spent the next three years in CSTC as the Project Leader for the High Refractive Index Fluids for 193nm Lithography Program where I was responsible for invention, implementation, and support of advanced immersion fluids for 193nm Immersion Lithography. I also lead and coordinated the Stage Gate of this program, including the development and feasibility efforts between Electronics R&D, Corporate R&D and Electronics Business Development team members. In 2006, I was awarded an International Network of Emerging Science & Technology (INEST) Fellowship from Phillip Morris USA

Computer Programming Skills to Engineering Students Using Mekin2D Modular Kinematics SubroutinesAbstractComputer programing is a fundamental discipline taught early in the curriculum to allundergraduate engineering majors. Fewer opportunities exist however for students to practicetheir programing skills before they graduate. In this paper, a number of computer programingexercises on planar mechanism kinematic simulation given to Mechanical Engineering studentsat Texas A&M University Corpus Christi are presented. Students are instructed on how todownload the MeKin2D subroutines and the Free Pascal Integrated Development Environment(IDE) on their computer. Then they perform, as homework assignments, three exercises usingthese

is in MRE, I feel like this multidisciplinary subject has particularly challenging aspects in terms of curriculum generation and presentation. I feel like many of the current courses fall short. I am intensely interested in learning about ways to prepare to teach MRE, as well as to get more involved in the MRE community.Participants reported that their students are interested in this growing field and that they hopedtheir respective institutions would respond. One participant stated: I believe mechatronics is an extremely important area for the future and is exciting and interesting as a draw for students.Whether they had plans to start a new robotics major, were trying to incorporate MRE content intotheir engineering courses, or

workingprofessionals who represent all the disciplines represented in our endeavor. This was our firsttime offering a course with this combination of disciplines (and hence has no feedback from agroup of external stakeholders). As an update, we have, since the submission of the abstract,offered this course twice. However, it was offered to only engineering students, and with aplatform-independent app development methodology. Feedback from all students convinced usto seek a simpler and better integrated app development process. We now feel comfortable inoffering full-fledged transdisciplinary courses in spring 2018, at which time formativeevaluation will be undertaken (see the discussion section). We document our efforts at formativeevaluation in another paper
