Nick Bertozzi is a Professor of Engineering at Daniel Webster College (DWC) and Dean of the School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS). His major interest over the past 18 years has been the concurrent engineering design process, an interest that was fanned into flame by attending an NSF faculty development workshop in 1996 led by Ron Barr and Davor Juricic. Nick has a particular interest in helping engineering students develop good communications skills and has made this a SECS priority. Over the past ten years he and other engineering and humanities faculty colleagues have mentored a number of undergraduate student teams who have co-authored and presented papers and posters at Engineering Design Graphics Division (EDGD) and other ASEE, CDIO (www.cdio.org), and American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) meetings as well. Nick was delighted to serve as the EDGD program chair for the 2008 ASEE Summer Conference and as program co-chair with Kathy Holliday-Darr for the 68th EDGD Midyear meeting at WPI in October 2013. Nick is currently serving as the Vice Chair of the ASEE EDGD.

David Guo joined Daniel Webster College (DWC) as an assistant professor in engineering after he obtained his PhD degree of Engineering Mechanics of Aerospace in May 2005 from Old Dominion University. In 2010, he was promoted to Associated Professor. He graduated from Beijing Institute of Technology with Bachelor's Degree on Mechanical Engineering and Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering in 1995.

Dr. Guo teaches undergraduate aeronautical and mechanical engineering courses, develops engineering program curriculum and lab components, and conducts academic research in engineering fields such as nonlinear finite elements, random vibrations, fatigue estimations, and smart materials. His teaching strategy is focusing on improving the overall experience of engineering students by adopting latest teaching philosophy, such as CDIO (Concept, Design, Implement, and Operate) initiative, and making use of advanced teaching tools, such as project-based learning, team-learning, electronic-based learning environment, and laboratory/visualization-aided teaching. So far his students’ projects have involved with DBF competition and joint project with UML and University of Colorado Boulder.

He serves as the academic advisor for AIAA student chapter at DWC. He is enthusiastic about aviation/aerospace educations and related applications. He participated AIAA academic conferences as well as student paper conferences regularly.
