He joined the Department of Engineering Technology at Texas Southern University (TSU) as an Assistant Professor in the fall of 2006. He initiated the Virtual and Remote Laboratory (VR-Lab) at TSU in 2008. With the support of NSF HBCU-UP, CCLI and IEECI programs, a state of the art virtual and remote laboratory has been established. Now, the VR-Lab website is being served as portal for students to conduct various virtual and remote experiments. Page 22.1663.1

In addition, a laboratory where studentsdesign and build a functional product with attention to aesthetics has been introduced to exercisetheir creativity. The creative process is marked by progression through various stages such asbrainstorming, forming a construction plan, drawing schematic representations of the product,and implementation of the design. This project is motivated by the need for creative thought inengineering undergraduate students to enable enhanced product design. Each semester

Students are first introduced to biometric systems through thedevelopment of a speaker recognition system which ties nicely into the one-dimensional signalprocessing theory that they have already learned. Then students use image processing methods indesigning a face recognition system and working with a fingerprint recognition system. This isstudents’ first introduction to image processing and sampling, filtering, and frequency analysis intwo dimensions are covered.The application of signal processing methods to

This research was fundedthrough the NSF Innovations in Engineering Education (IEECI) program to develop modulesutilizing the pedagogy of problem-based learning and case studies to teach new environmentalsustainable design concepts. Problem based learning (PBL) and case studies are novelapproaches for laboratory modules. In PBL and case studies, students are assigned real-worldproblems to discuss, research, and solve as teams. This method diverges from the traditional“step-by-step” method currently used in laboratory courses and provides
