Engineering. His background is in dynamic sys- tem modeling and simulation, nonlinear control, hardware-in-the-loop, hybrid-electric vehicles, and solar powered water purification. He teaches Instrumentation, Vehicle Dynamics, Hybrid-electric Vehicles, and Senior Design. He recently co-founded a small business called AquaSolve Ventures selling large and small solar powered water purifiers. He is involved in Project Haiti which is a student movement to de- sign the 6th solar water purifier for installation in Haiti this summer. His current research is focused on reducing diesel emissions, improving solar panel effectiveness with phase change materials, and helping to define the water-energy-climate nexus

A “maker” identity has beenassociated with specific attitudes and abilities, such as creativity, the ability to createphysical models, and the embracing of failure, which engineering educators are nowstriving to foster in their students and throughout curricula.1-3 Over the past ten years,makerspaces, or innovation spaces, have been developed

One approach that appears to be effective at helping students developthe soft skills without compromising the acquisition of technical knowledge is service-learning.Service-learning is a form of project based experiential learning where the students are engagedin an activity that meets the specific needs of a community or nonprofit organization. Whencorrectly implemented, both the service and educational objectives are met.

Converting a traditional education to anentrepreneurial education doesn’t require complicated, sweeping changes in the facultyand the classroom. A significant transformation can come from something as modest andlow key as the collaboration of two faculty members, with the resulting creation of apartnership that allows its members to draw on the others’ diverse backgrounds anddistinct strengths to change the direction of a program and to excite an entire studentbody.
