MANE 6530- Turbulence Spring 2000 (RPI)
- Taught using distance education between Clarkson University, UC Santa Bar-bara, SUNY Buffalo and RPI. Two conference articles were published and pre-sented in China.
- A Multi-University Internet-based (H.323) Graduate Course in Turbulence, Part I: Academic Description. Wang, H., George, W.K., Meng, H., Stephens, L., Fellendorf, B., Whitlock, J., Glauser, M.N., Dullea, D., Castillo, L., Hayes, W., Smith, E., Hoshida, S., Koritschan, P., Casterlin R., Shurtleff, D. and Ewing, D., ICEE 2000, Taipei, Taiwan, (2000).
- A Multi-University Internet-based (H.323) Graduate Course in Turbulence, Part II: Technical Details. Stephens, L., Fellendorf, B., Whitlock, J., Wang, H., Meng, H., George, W.K., Dullea, D., Glauser, M.N., Smith, E., Hayes, W., Castillo, L., Hoshida, S., Koritschan, P., Casterlin, R. and Shurtleff, D., ICEE 2000, Taipei, Taiwan, (2000).
MANE 4010 (RPI)/ME 3322 (TTU)- Thermo Fluids II
- Involved in the development of this course into a studio format which integrates the use of laptops and active learning.
- At TTU implemented team-building concepts, including design and innovations.
- Students, design, test and build prototypes on projects related to energy stor-age, water dissemination, renewable energy, biometrics sensors for medical fields, fitness and, education as it relates to thermodynamic cycles (e.g. Rankin cycle, refrigeration cycle etc.).
- Built collaborations with College of Education to develop best practices of how to introduce design and innovation early on engineering student careers. We are currently writing a journal article on this topic.
