During his career Dr. Hamrick served in a broad range of positions including design, product development, tool and die, manufacturing, sales, and management. His teaching style brings practical, innovative, experience based learning to the classroom, where hands on projects that reflect real world applications are valued by students. Since 1998 he has mentored and lead youth organizations including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H, and First Robotics, with youth ranging in ages from first grade through high school. He was named a Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources Outstanding Teacher for 2013-14

Conceptual Site ModelsAbstractIn environmental engineering site remediation projects, community perception of environmentaland health risks can influence a project’s scope and design. Therefore, community engagement iscritical to shaping an engineer’s definition of an environmental problem. However, lower-levelundergraduate engineering curricula rarely address the incorporation of community input intoenvironmental engineering problem definition, as environmental engineering coursework tendsto utilize pre-defined problems to develop and assess technical knowledge and skills. Upper-level courses that do include community participation in environmental engineering design tendto be reflective, having students evaluate the social impact of a pre-defined

As Slaton and Pawley (2018) note, all ofthe features of a research design must be actively chosen and each of these choices has hugeepistemic and political consequences. Unfortunately, the process of aligning these components iscomplex and enigmatic, as researchers often fail to adequately document the details of theirdecision making process for others to learn from. They are seldom incentivized to do so.Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to divulge the complexities embedded within ourresearch team’s process of designing a qualitative study focused on understanding
