• Leveraging sustainable design, life cycle, risk, and project management - from innovation and strategic implementation through responsible operation to planned reclamation. Engineering projects inherently alter our world; thus, balancing the net social benefit equation is critical to a sustainable future.
• Applying design principles and process control concepts to engineering education with a special interest in blended learning and project courses with industrial partnerships.
• Developing assessment methods to measure higher level cognitive and affective domain functions associated with engineering education learning objectives in complex open ended design project courses.
• Applying thermodynamics and phase behavior to novel and standard design projects.

• CHE 435/465 Blended Learning Project
• Integrative teaching of engineering, team development, project management, design, sustainability, economics, safety, risk and loss management in complex real and sometimes wicked problems.
• Facilitation of Engineering Mentorship by maintaining and growing partnerships with industry, research, business, and student communities to connect people, projects and foster innovation and sustainable design.
• The application of CEAB graduate performance criteria to course and program design.
• Blended learning support for active and open ended learning.
