LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

2012 Participant, UVA Leadership Strategies cohort. This program seeks to increase the capacity of

university administrators thru a) definition of a personal development plan based on 360o review,

b) presentations on UVA leadership by subject matter experts, and c) completion of an

experiential learning activity selected from one’s job.

2014 Participant, UVA Leadership in Academic Matters (LAM) cohort. This program seeks to better

equip faculty for leadership thru sessions covering teambuilding, negotiation, managing change,

strategic decision making, financial management, developing successful networks, and finding life

balance.

2016 Participant, LAM Quarterly: Problem Solving in Complex Environments. This day-long session

introduced a strategy for navigating difficult organization-level conversations: How does an

organization manage competing values and interests? Rather than placing such values at odds,

can each be leveraged for organizational success?

LEADERSHIP ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN ACADEMIA

State-level, Diversity and Workforce Development: Conceived of, founded, and led the Engineers

PRODUCED in Virginia program – a partnership program with the Virginia Community College System.

The program encouraged students to start their undergraduate engineering studies at local community

college. Then it used state-of-the-art digital media solutions to bring third and fourth year undergraduate

engineering education out to communities, rather than asking students to leave their communities for

bachelor’s studies. The program was the first online bachelor’s degree program in UVA history. Major

diversity characteristics and accomplishments in the UVA portion of the program included (2009 – 2016):

37.1% Pell Grant recipients vs. Traditional UVA engineering on-campus = 10.8%

30.0% Low income 6.6%

31.7% First generation 7.3%

40.0% Non-traditional age or part-time 0.3%

40.0% Supported by year-round paid co-op (avg. $16 / hr) and full tuition scholarship 0.0%

68.0% Employed after graduation as full-time engineers in Virginia < 40.0%

Attracted over $5.0 million in start-up support for program from state, federal, university, and corporate

foundation sources and more than $1.75 million in university tuition revenue from students and corporate

sponsors. Program sought to address the challenge that U.S. engineering education is offered in limited

number of “engineering degree zones,” leaving large numbers of communities and students underserved.

Program educated and empowered students and communities through an apprenticeship program that

linked students and engineering employers over several years for integrated work-study.

National-level, Secondary Education Curriculum Definition: Co-directed $1.2 million in grants from

the National Science Foundation and Kern Family Foundation that have led to a proposal for an

Advanced Placement exam in engineering. The grants, led primarily by the University of Maryland, have

enabled development and validation of a set of engineering design process scoring rubrics and spurred

creation of an electronic portfolio through which high school students can demonstrate knowledge of

engineering design. The electronic portfolio system, Innovation Portal, was developed by Project Lead the

Way. In 2014, this overall project led the College Board to hire a project director tasked with taking the

scoring rubrics and electronic portfolio and translating them into an actual AP exam in engineering.

State-level, Educational Partnerships, Program Development: Served as primary university advisor

for the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) as it created five new Associate of Science degree

programs in engineering between 2007 and 2009. The VCCS engineering expansion was sparked by

Updated: April 12, 2017 3

development of the Engineers PRODUCED in Virginia program. Worked with the community colleges to

ensure that their courses and degree program structure were approved by the State Council of Higher

Education for Virginia and aligned with UVA’s undergraduate engineering curriculum. Prior to

PRODUCED, eight out of 23 VCCS schools offered engineering. By 2010, that number had grown to

fourteen schools, serving eighteen of the VCCS’ 23 regions. The engineering programs developed in

partnership with the PRODUCED initiative enrolled over 700 students and graduated over 50 in 2015-16.

State-level, Strategic Planning: Developed strategic plans for the statewide Commonwealth Graduate

Engineering Program (CGEP) , a state-funded initiative that, since 1983, has joined the engineering

programs of George Mason University, Old Dominion University, University of Virginia, Virginia

Commonwealth University, and Virginia Tech for graduate engineering course sharing at a distance. The

planning leadership provided long-range vision and focus on efforts to enhance the program’s national

competitiveness. Results included increased state support (i.e., $150,000 / year for nanotechnology

course sharing), formation of the program’s first advisory board, transformation of the technology

infrastructure used by the program for course delivery from video conference to real-time internet online,

and reorganization of the role of degree program receive sites in a set of Virginia communities.

University-level, Digital Infrastructure Design for Education: Between 2008 and 2014, envisioned,

designed, and guided construction of new digital infrastructure that placed UVA engineering programs

online for first time. Platform supports live, interactive education between a distributed population of

faculty and students, over the internet. Instruction can occur in specially-equipped classrooms using

digital ink technology or from faculty members’ tablet computers, located anywhere in world. Students can

engage in collaborative learning wherever high-speed internet is available and review recorded class

sessions. The infrastructure provides for anytime, anywhere, outside the classroom connectivity by text,

audio, video, and desktop sharing, in support of informal learning. The system “backend” supports data

collection related to instructor teaching styles and student use of course recordings. System has been

used to connect students in Asia, North America, and Europe for live, interactive instruction. Once

online, UVA’s offerings could be ranked. In 2016 UVA’s online graduate engineering programs received a

#9 ranking from BestColleges.com and a #15 ranking from U.S. News & World Report. Also, in 2016-17,

the university’s classroom technologies group adopted infrastructure solutions across its classrooms, e.g.,

digital inking and full room audio capture, that were first designed and piloted via this initiative.

University-level, Dual Degree Program Creation: Initiated and led inter-school faculty discussions

which culminated in creation of a new bachelors/masters dual degree program at the University of

Virginia, joining the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Curry School of Education.

Conceived of and generated the first course plan for the degree pathway that allows students to earn a

Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Science and a Master of Teaching degree with an

instructional certification. Established in 2015, the program allows students to become certified teachers

of physics, math, chemistry, or biology in the Virginia public school system. The pathway will place

teachers in the K-12 environment who have engineering education backgrounds.

School-level, Financial Resource Development: Crafted education initiatives that generated revenue

for the engineering school (e.g., ENGR 1520 Explorations in Engineering for high school students ,

graduate-level nanotechnology course sharing, formation of Engineers PRODUCED in Virginia program,

and involvement by engineering school in visiting Chinese faculty programs). These initiatives allowed

UVA engineering to control $0.75 million in funds annually to support program efforts.

2017 - present Instructor, STS 2500 Science and Technology in Social and Global Context, University

of Virginia. Engineering Teamwork and Leadership in Context. This course seeks to

increase student awareness of recognized, positive leadership traits, to motivate

student reflection upon their personal values and priorities, and to challenge students

to consider how they might develop into active leaders in areas that they deem to be

significant. The course strives to teach students the importance of personal wellness

and life balance so that they can live meaningful, healthy lives as leaders. Students

consider leadership in an instructional environment that emphasizes the development

of communication skills in various media including writing, speech, and video

multimedia.

2015 - present Instructor, ENGR 4010 / 4020 Multidisciplinary Design and Development I and II,

University of Virginia. This two-semester capstone engineering design sequence

provides students with a realistic and rigorous, culminating engineering design

experience which is reflective of contemporary professional practice. Key course

attributes include the multidisciplinary composition of the engineering design teams,

emphasis on aspects of modern practice, and realistic problems and client-stakeholder

interactions. A disciplined design process is followed: DEFINE the challenge space,

GENERATE solution concepts and SELECT the most promising, EXPLORE the

selected solution, and REPORT results and RECOMMEND how to move forward.

2005 – present Instructor, MSE 2090 Introduction to the Science and Engineering of Materials,

University of Virginia. This course provides the scientific foundation for understanding

the relations between the properties, microstructure, and behavior during use of
