He graduated from the University of Yaounde 1 in Cameroon and then completed a Certificate in Teaching Engineering in Higher Education at Villanova University. Dr. Kwuimy is interested in vibration analysis and in the use of nonlinear dynamics tools to improve the early detection of fault in complex nonlinear systems. In the latest, his focus is on engineering systems (gear systems, bearings) and biological systems (vibration in human-arm, human diseases). In vibration analysis, his focus is on the conversion

Kinematics CourseAbstractThe proper application of lean management techniques to manufacturing processes typicallyresults in process improvements. Many of the principles of lean thinking can also be applied tothe educational process. This paper examines the implementation of lean management principlesin the design and delivery of a traditional lecture-based engineering course – Kinematics ofMachines.The format of a typical kinematics course relies on lectures, homework, exams, and perhaps adesign project as a means for transferring knowledge from the instructor to the students. In thispaper, lean thinking principles are applied to redesign the kinematics course format to increasethe effectiveness and efficiency of the knowledge transfer process

Aside from my research, I focus heavily on the advancement of engineering education at the collegiate level.

These strategies appear to be ones that expert designers employautomatically, without consciously deciding to do so[24]. The heuristics were individuallyextracted across multiple concepts from multiple designers to reflect a useful level of abstractionin describing how to alter design characteristics to create new ones[25]. The resulting set of DesignHeuristics capture 77 different strategies, each of which can be applied independently or in tocreate new designs[26].The set of Design Heuristics is packaged as an instructional tool for

important factor in persistence to degree completion. For example, somestudies report that the diversity gap in STEM participation may be attributed more to perceptionsand beliefs than to academic preparation or achievement levels [1-5]. To the extent that suchperceptions and beliefs form an inaccurate (or “negative”) vision of a future engineering career,curricular approaches that aim to form a more “positive” vision may be warranted. Theseapproaches can be pedagogical, such as collaborative and project-based learning [6-8], content-based by aiming (for example) to expose the positive contributions of engineering to society [9-12], or both.
