My main interest is engineering education with an emphasis on engineering entrepreneurship and new product development - see Engineering Entrepreneurs Program. I was a Co-PI on a $100,000 NSF Bridges for Engineering Education planning grant (Award Number 0341985.) The grant is an outgrowth of collaboration that I initiated between the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education in the College of Education.
