Co-Founder of the Texas Wind Energy Institute for Wind Energy Education and Workforce development at Texas Tech University. Initial funding of over $2 million from the Texas Workforce Commission.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP
College of Engineering, University of Texas at El Paso 1995-2002
Administration: Managed an annual state budget of $6 million for the College of Engineering Provided oversight for a $30 million college research portfolio. Directly supervised an office of six professional staff, four part time work-study students, an
Associate Dean and two Assistant Deans Provided leadership for 64 engineering faculty; 25 full time staff; and 2700 engineering students at
the BS, MS and Phd levels.
Major Accomplishments:
Assisted in developing funded research activities averaging $6-8 million / year in engineering –contributing to the overall university research portfolio, ranked second in the UT system.
Led the college through the 1995 ABET accreditation visit, earned “Next General Review”, NGR, in 1996 on five programs in the college under the “old” ABET criteria.
23
Provided leadership for ABET EC-2000 review in 2001of six programs resulting in “Next General Review”, NGR for all six college programs in 2002 – Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Materials, & Industrial Engineering and Computer Science.
Led the establishment of a Freshman Engineering/Entering Students Program, joint with the
College of Science, and funded by NSF at $2.5 million per year. Currently co-PI on the project. The program is regarded as highly successful, seeing a rise in one-year retention from 66% to 80% and a first time freshman GPA increase from 2.2 to 2.8 in Science and Engineering. In addition this program includes: a modified Freshman Engineering Curriculum, the establishment of several study centers, research experiences for undergraduates, and an academic professional development center.
Provided leadership for 40% total enrollment growth of the college over the past five years, becoming the fifth largest engineering program in the state of Texas and the top ranked producer of Hispanic Engineers in the Continental US in academic year 2001-2002.
Provided oversight for the development of a “Basic Engineering” common lower division core of general engineering courses that includes a rising junior competency examination and required passing of the Fundamentals of Engineering licensure examination.
Instituted an Engineering Advisory Council (EAC) for the college with 11 key companies, to include: Raytheon, Sandia National Laboratories, General Motors, Delphi, Texas Instruments, IBM, Hewlett Packard, and Lockheed Martin.
Provided leadership in Manufacturing as Director of the Center for International
Manufacturing, to include incorporating the Institute for Manufacturing and Materials Management within the College of Engineering, securing a grant from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and developing innovative new manufacturing programs both within engineering and joint with the College of Business.
Instituted CQI management processes at the college level.
Initiated the design and construction of an $8 million Engineering Building, and a multi – million dollar Corporate Fund Raising Campaign for renovation of the existing Engineering building.
