Duties
at FLC:
Professor of Engineering The courses I teach are shown to the left. At these links you will find the web page and syllabus for the most recent time I taught the course. Some I teach every year while others are on a rotational basis.
Director of Engineers Without Borders at Fort Lewis College EWB-FLC is a a member of EWB-USA, a national non-profit organization established in 2000 to help developing areas worldwide with their engineering needs, while involving and training a new kind of internationally responsible student. EWB projects involve the design and construction of water, wastewater, sanitation, energy, and shelter systems. We are committed to finding sustainable solutions which use appropriate technology. FLC has completed project in Huai Houk, Thailand in 2005 and Mae Yang Min, Thailand, 2006. CSEMS is a NSF funded Computer Science, Engineering and Math Scholarships program. This program brings $100,000 per year to FLC for 29 student scholarships. I am the Principal Investigator and the Director of this program. Site Coordinator for the LS-COAMP Program FLC is one of 13 schools in an NSF funded initiative to increase the number of underrepresented minority students graduating in science, technology, engineering, and math. We provide tutoring, mentoring, scholarships, summer research opportunities and other services. Site Director of the RMMSP Program The Rocky Mountain Math Science Partnership (RMMSP) is a NSF funded program that provides math and science exposure to middle school and high school students and teachers. The goal is to increase the interest in science and engineering careers by making math and science more accessible, understandable and fun.

The Physics and Engineering Department: As the name implies my department is responsible for both physic and engineering programs. We have both engineers and physicists on the faculty. This provides a broad array of expertise that students can draw from in their studies. I enjoy it because it continually challenges me with new ideas from a different perspective. We offers the following programs: |

Personal Interests:
Validation
of the Hydraulic-Open Channel Flow Model
HEC-RAS with Observed Data |
One
of the great things about working at FLC is the flexibility it allows to
pursue a variety of interests. I have an ongoing (albeit somewhat slow
moving) research project that is in its third summer and has involved
seven different summer interns and one class project. The premise is to
investigate the validity of the HEC-RAS hydraulic model when applied to
steep mountain rivers. This is my undergraduate research project.|
I like classical piano (my daughter) |
