Colorado State University Professor Receives National Award

� omas H. Bradley, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at Colorado State University, has won the Teetor Award from the Society of Automobile Engineers International in recognition of his teaching excellence.

Bradley is the director of CSU’s government and industry-funded Vehicle Electri� cation Education and EcoCAR2 programs. EcoCAR2 is a 15-university competition where students create an environmentally sustainable car. Under Bradley’s leadership, CSU is creating the only hydrogen-fuel cell vehicle in the competition.

Since Bradley’s arrival at CSU in 2008, he has conducted research into the technical and economic interactions between the automotive, energy and policy sectors. He has developed a unique body of work that takes systems engineering approaches to the design and interface between hybrid/electric

vehicles and their market, fueling infrastructure and customers.

“We are very pleased that Dr. Bradley’s peers have recognized him as an outstanding engineering educator,” said Sue James, Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CSU. “He is well-deserving of this honor and a major contributor to improving the industry relevance of CSU’s education and research e� orts.”

� e SAE award was created to honor the late Ralph R. Teetor, the 1936 SAE International president who believed in the importance of educators’ impact on future engineers.

“My goal as an engineering educator is to help students realize their goals for innovation, for an improved transportation energy sector, for a career in invention and technology development,” said Bradley. “EcoCAR2 or any of the programs that we engage in here at CSU are designed to provide students with a place to learn, develop, and exercise their skills as engineers and innovators.”

� e award is funded through the SAE Foundation and administered by the Teetor Educational Award Committee. SAE International includes more than 121,000 engineers and technical experts globally, encompassing individuals from the automotive, aerospace and commercial-vehicle industries. Past receipents in the Mechanical Engineering department include Professor Yalin and Professor Willson.

� e Marcus Family is a Longtime Supporter of EngineeringJoe Marcus graduated from the CSU College of Engineering in 1961, and has sought out ways to stay involved with campus growth and student development ever since. During a 42-½ -year long career with Lockheed Martin, Marcus maintained his College of Engineering relationship through various channels, including supporting senior design projects, generously backing scholarship funds and equipment purchases, and serving for 12 years on the Dean’s Advisory Board. Joe retired from Lockheed Martin in 2002.

In fact, Marcus and his wife, Carolyn, both Colorado natives who met at CSU, have gone above and beyond for the college. “We enjoy being involved with all the good people that are there today and all the ones we’ve known through past involvement,” Marcus says. “I’ve always admired the integrity of the school, even when it was Colorado A&M,” adding that his mother and uncle attended the university in the 1920s, and more recently, their four daughters have earned degrees at CSU.

Upon graduation Marcus followed up a summer position and took a job with Lockheed Martin (then the Martin Company). He started out in ground-systems mechanical design and, then, shi� ed to airborne propulsion and the design of rockets and � ight hardware. During his career, he had stints in Colorado and Louisiana, including leadership of production engineering at the company’s External Tank program

for NASA, supervising 350 employees. Towards the end of his career, he returned to Louisiana as vice president of the same ET program, in charge of a sta� of 1,000 working on design, tooling, and fabrication. � e External Tank technology has been essential to the U.S. Space Shuttle program and the Space Station assembly and activation process. “It was a great technical challenge with large, sophisticated hardware, and it all had to � y right so the astronauts would reach orbit safely every time,” Marcus recalls. “It was an amazing job supporting our nation’s space program, and I enjoyed all of it.”

He also complemented his work achievements with his service to CSU, including his time on the Dean’s Advisory Board. In the 1990s, Marcus hosted several CSU mechanical engineering professors to Lockheed Martin’s Waterton Engineering and Production facility to show o� the company’s innovative o� ce setup for project management, which

was designed to boost interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. � e layout encompassed adjacent o� ce areas, dedicated to di� erent skills, such as systems engineering, stress analysis, dynamics, and detail design to improve work� ow in the design and assembly of spacecra� and rockets.

� e visits, which occurred just as the CSU Engineering Building was being renovated, impressed the professors: who thought the functional arrangement would serve as a great learning environment to encourage student interaction in a professional setting. As Marcus says, “one thing led to another,” and he supported college o� cials in devising the Lockheed-Martin Engineering Design Laboratory in CSU’s Engineering Building, modeled a� er the company’s operations, with corporate approval.

“� at was the introduction to the teaching method that paralleled

what industry was doing,” Marcus says. “Students could work in a team environment. � is would expose young graduate candidates to how you work collaboratively before entering jobs in industry.

Joe and Carolyn Marcus also provided funds to upgrade equipment and purchase a new, numerically controlled lathe and mill in 2009. � e equipment is still heavily used every day in the Engineering Manufacturing Education Center, enabling students to hone their fabrication skills on professional machinery.

Recently, the Marcuses’ contributed to the Mechanical Engineering Diversity Scholarship, which has steadily grown under the leadership of Dr. Susan James, Mechanical Engineering Department Head. Any student can apply for these scholarships. Selection criteria include dedication to improving diversity, demonstrated ability to successfully complete the degree, academic excellence, and � nancial need. Remembering his days as a student in the once male-dominated college, Marcus says it’s great to see its development into a prominent and diverse learning environment.

“� e quality and education are � rst class, and the goodness of the school has always been there,” Marcus says, “and the leadership of Dr. Tony Frank and his very talented sta� of administrators and professors has taken the University to new and higher levels of excellence.”

Professor of Practice

Senior Design and Woodward, Inc. Make a Great Partnership

With the support of Woodard, Inc. and its respected engineering teams, CSU mechanical engineering students are helping to build a better next-generation aircra� engine. � is spring, a senior design team worked with engineers at Woodward, the Fort Collins-based company that designs and produces technology components and systems for the aerospace and energy industries.

While Woodward’s Industrial Turbines Systems division has sponsored a senior design team for several years, this project marks the � rst time CSU engineering students have worked with the company’s Aircra� Turbine Systems division. Beyond the student learning experience, the project has paid o� technically for Woodard, according to Shawn Pollock, Technology Development Engineer and one of two team advisers. “When I went through school, we didn’t have an industry sponsor program, but it would have been bene� cial,” says Pollock, originally from Montana and a graduate of Montana State University.

Pollock and another company mentor initiated the opportunity to support both the technical and communications challenges surrounding Woodward’s e� orts to design more e� cient air valves that improve performance of aircra� turbines. Speci� cally, an air valve functions by receiving a signal from the engine control system that directs the actuator to move in one direction. � at opens or closes a butter� y valve, based on the engine command, in order to direct engine air � ow to another part of the engine.

Over the course of the project, students participated in design, analysis and

Engineering. Currently the courses I teach include Machine Dynamics, Mechanical Vibrations, Reliability Engineering, and the Senior Design Practicum. I developed the mechanical vibrations course with a lab included so that students could get the hands-on experience they need in order to more fully understand the material.

In all of the courses I teach I try to include a piece of the “real world” so as to better prepare our graduates for what is to come.

In addition to relaxing with my family, in my spare time I enjoy motorcycling, woodworking, and sailing.

testing, helping to produce detailed drawings and even procure hardware. � e student engineers helped develop a simpler and lower cost torque transfer concept that could provide higher reliability. In addition, the students designed, developed and fabricated a test stand in order to validate their concept.

“We didn’t have the resources to take it forward before the CSU project started,” Pollock says. “� ey’ve done a lot of good analysis and design work to prove the concept they came up with is feasible. It’s de� nitely been bene� cial on the technical side for us.”

� e air valve design may eventually be incorporated into next-generation aircra� engines for commercial aviation jets, such as Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s.

Pollock has worked in the industry for 18 years, including the last 8 with Woodward in Illinois and Fort Collins. During the design project, he enjoyed “the mentoring aspect,” and “helping students learn more than what they can in school.” He also emphasized the importance of communication skills for engineers, saying, “Most engineers can crunch numbers all day, but many new grads have a hard time communicating e� ectively with the rest of the organization. Continuing education, whether formal or informal, is necessary to be successful on the job. � e sponsorship allows students to bene� t from early exposure to real industry products across a large team, which they don’t typically experience through their college career.”

Woodward’s aircra� -turbine division plans to sponsor and mentor another CSU student design team next year. Beyond gaining the students’ labors and ideas, the opportunity also gives the company a chance to screen potential employees.

“We look forward to doing this again,” Pollock says. “It is bene� cial for us, and we’re supporting the college and community as well. You can’t put numbers to that.”

If your company is interested in sponsoring a senior design project please contact Mitch Stansloski by e-mail: mjs@engr.colostate.edu or phone: (970) 491-2691.

I have spent over twenty-� ve years in industry performing plant engineering, vibration and modal analysis, and reliability engineering. In 2000, I founded Pioneer Engineering, a company focused on improving equipment reliability as well as creating dynamic measurement solutions. I have developed twenty-four professional seminars for my � eld, and delivered lectures at conferences all over the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

DeManche Brothers Attribute Success to Colorado State’s ME Department

“I’m a massive believer that I wouldn’t have had the things I do – the education, success, the jobs, going to law school – if it weren’t for the College of Engineering, and due in part to alumni support,” continues Reid, who contributes to the Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Practicum and other college funds. “I believe it’s my duty to give back and keep building the college.”

Roby shares that outlook and dedication to CSU. He coordinates alumni events in the Bay Area and is active with the local Ram Network. His commitments and achievements are among the reasons he received the Mechanical Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award in 2012. “CSU’s been an important part of my life,” Roby says. “Engineering has been a keystone of what we’ve done.

Roby DeManche works as a business operations manager for a tech � rm

that produces a cutting-edge learning thermostat. Reid DeManche is a patent attorney who supports product development for industries, including automotives, biotechnology, and building materials. Despite their distinct paths, the brothers both launched their careers with degrees in mechanical engineering from CSU, and each has demonstrated how the degree can lead to innovative and rewarding work outside the engineering � eld.

� e DeManches grew up on the eastern plains in Julesburg, Colorado. Roby, three-and-a-half years older than his brother, was � nishing CSU in 1997-98, when Reid, came to campus. � e two shared friends and housemates, and, with a brotherly interest in mechanical engineering, they also shared an academic focus.

An academic all-conference pole vaulter while at CSU, Roby � rst tried out a job in San Antonio, Texas, and then moved to Michigan to work in product development engineering for Ford Motor Company. � e position introduced him to other aspects of project management and sparked an interest and responsibilities in the business elements. “When I was at Ford, the business guys would pull me in because I have the technical skills and understanding,” Roby says, “and then I could bridge that and integrate it into negotiations with suppliers.”

� e experience motivated him to get his MBA at University of California, Berkeley, in 2008. A� er graduation, he landed a job with Apple, managing segments of the supply chain with responsibility for purchasing and procurement of parts. His skill set proved ideal for working with and connecting design, � nance, manufacturing and management teams within the company. “At Apple, I was constantly in a three-way negotiation between the engineering team, the [external] supplier who would be manufacturing a part, and the overall Apple management team to make sure we got things done in the most cost-e� ective and time-e� cient manner possible,” Roby says. “Having an engineering background is absolutely critical to that.”

Since 2012, he has been the business operations and global supply chain manager for Nest Labs, a nascent Palo Alto company that produces the Nest Learning � ermostat. � e technology manages heating and air conditioning in a home or building, integrating motion detection, Wi-Fi control and other programming to learn a person’s or family’s schedule and preferences and to control temperatures and reduce energy bills. Several former Apple employees work at Nest, which, Roby says, carries on a similar “design ethos.”

Reid DeManche paired his major in mechanical engineering with minors in political science and economics. His

academic interests led him to take his engineering capabilities to the law � eld. A year a� er graduating from CSU in 2003, Reid began law school at Michigan State University, earning his degree in 2007. “In many ways, my engineering background was an advantage in law school,” Reid says. “� e logic applied in law is actually very similar to engineering principles.”

With his technical background, Reid focused on intellectual property and patent law. Since 2007, he has worked for a “small but quickly growing” patent law � rm in metropolitan Detroit. Being able to analyze technology and technical challenges serves him well in relations with engineers and his many clients in the auto industry. “I don’t believe it would be possible to do my job without my mechanical engineering degree,” he says.

A� er graduation from Cornell with a ME degree in 1977, I served in the US Navy as a submarine o� cer and Engineering Duty O� cer. I retired from the Navy Reserve in 2007 as a Captain with 4 commands. In 1993 I returned to Georgia Tech (where I got my Ph.D.) and helped form the Undersea Research Program O� ce, a joint cooperative research group between the Mechanical Engineering and Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). � is group conducted research and development of advanced submarine sonar concepts and in underwater acoustics. Later I served as a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Electro-Optics, Environment and Materials Laboratory,

a highly diversi� ed research organization in GTRI. In 2004 I formed a vehicle technology group and led the systems development of the ULTRA Armored Personnel Concept Vehicle, focusing on the survivability and mobility of armor vehicles and their personnel. More recently I was the program manager for the development of complex systems modeling and systems engineering decision support environment for the USMC Marine Personnel Carrier program. In 2008, I formed the Systems Solutions Group in CSU Ventures, which is focused on developing applied technical research from Colorado State University and partnering with industrial corporations to develop systems levelGary Caille, Ph.D., PE

solutions. In July 2012, I moved to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at CSU where I work in strategic business development. Presently I am the principal investigator for a $5M DOE grant focused on education and community awareness of hybrid-electric and all-electric vehicles. My future goals are to develop systematic solutions to community energy needs that have positive environmental and economic impacts to the community using renewable sources, such as geothermal, solar, wind and waste-to-energy concepts.

Remembering Professor Bob Haberstroh

Robert D. Haberstroh, 85, of Windsor, Colo. died suddenly Friday, April 19, 2013. He was a dedicated husband, father, teacher, � sherman, and model airplane builder. He is survived by his wife Marilyn, daughter Martha (Paul); Brother Richard (Helen), stepdaughters Gayle (Je� ), and Lynn (Kris); stepsons Richard (Margaret) and Rob (Nancy); 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Robert will be missed by his loving family and many dear friends.

It is a sad time indeed with the sudden loss of Dr. Bob Haberstroh. He was a great friend and a great colleague in the Mechanical Engineering Department at CSU for many years since the time when my wife, Shirley, and I arrived in Fort Collins in December 1965. We have countless memories and stories of our association with him and we remember him fondly.

Bob received his Baccalaureate Degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1950. He then went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his Master’s degree (called SM for “Scientiae Magister”) in Mechanical Engineering in 1951 and in 1952 his Mechanical Engineer’s degree. He worked as a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh (1953-1954) and then as an engineer and sales manager at Structures, Inc., Johnstown, PA (1953-1956). He then became an Industrial Liaison O� cer at MIT (1956-1959) and he came to CSU as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering (1959-1962). A� er being at CSU for three years, he returned to MIT to earn a Sc.D. (Scientiæ Doctor) degree in 1964 a� er which he returned to CSU. He became a Full Professor and retired from CSU in 2002.

Bob was also passionate about making CSU a better university. He spent countless hours over many years working to “straighten out” the faculty governance system at CSU by working in the Faculty Council and working with the Academic Vice President of the time. Sometimes it would weigh heavily on him, but over the years he made a large contribution and indeed made CSU a better university.

He contributed magni� cently to the CSU missions of teaching, research and service. He taught many undergraduate and graduate students and helped them � nd their ways to productive careers and lives. He was indeed a great professor. It has been said that one great teacher can change the life of a student and Dr. Bob was one of those teachers.

As Coyne Prenger, Ph.D., P.E.; one of his Ph.D. students said,

“...the lectures were always carefully prepared beforehand so that he could concentrate on the “delivery.” As Mozart never wrote a “bad” piece of music, I don’t ever recall Professor Haberstroh delivering a boring heat transfer lecture. � e complex derivations were always tied to real world examples. As a student, if you put forth just a little e� ort with some pre-lecture preparation, he would meet you more than halfway with an eloquent delivery. And you never wanted to show up to a lecture unprepared, as he was skilled at exposing any slacker with embarrassing o� -the-cu� questions. From an undergraduate’s perspective, the energy balance had better be zero, the heat transfer coe� cients had better all be positive and the units needed to be correct. He was an educator extraordinaire.”

Bob is probably busy right now setting up his shop and organizing his lecture notes and watching over us. � ank you Bob for a great life and your great contributions. We will miss you.

-F.W. Smith, Professor Emeritus

Dr. Haberstroh

Bob was a “real-world” engineer having worked in the structural steel business early in his career. � at early experience made him the kind of “hands-on” engineer that is so highly valued at Colorado State.

He was “Coach Bob”, “Dr. Bob”, or “Dr Haberstroh” to his students. He set high standards for them in the classroom and they always respected and learned from him. As a past Department Head of the CSU ME Department, I o� en received inquiries from our ME alumni about the professors who taught them. Bob is the one most o� en mentioned in my experience. � ey asked about him and told me that he was the best professor they had during their time at CSU.

He was passionate about and well known for his teaching. He was an exceptionally well organized guy and had his teaching � les carefully organized for each course, each lecture, and each topic with the information presented in great detail. He o� en worked, then re-worked and again revised his lectures to be sure they were current, timely, and presented in the best way to promote understanding. At CSU, he taught � ermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Dynamics of Machines, Solid Mechanics, and other topics as well. In addition, he was the founder of the CSU Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma, the national mechanical engineering honor society.

Because Dr. Bob received his doctorate at MIT, we o� en kidded him about that by saying that he graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Technology. Of course, MIT is the top engineering school known as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He worked at MIT with the � nest professors of the time. As Bob’s colleagues in the ME Department, we became familiar with names such as Rosenhow, Den-Hartog and others from MIT who were invited to CSU on occasion to give seminars. Bob’s response to our chiding was that he did not have a Ph.D. like the rest of us newer faculty members; he had the Sc.D., which of course he said was superior.

He was known for giving what he called “character building lectures” in class from time to time, when he felt the need to add something extra to the education of his students. He was also known for occassionally throwing an

eraser in class to make his point.

Sometimes there were references to things as being “Haberstronian”. For example, the members of the faculty of the ME department at CSU had a shorthand way of showing the prerequisite relationships of courses in the ME curriculum using what were called “Haberstronian Arrows.” � ey worked well and are still in use today.

In 1965, when I interviewed for my job in the ME department, there were only six faculty members in the entire department including Bob. During that interview, I remember him telling me that he was the only “class” professor in the department at the time which was not exactly a self-e� acing statement, but he was one of the few that had a doctorate at the time.

In the late 1960s and early 70s the engineering parking lot was o� en completely full and parking was hard to � nd, especially if one was arriving from the foothills campus to the main campus about 15 minutes before class. � ere was an unpaved section of the lot that we called the “mud lot” that could be used to some degree depending upon the weather. I remember a story about Bob having a meeting set up with then CSU President Ray Chamberlain to talk about the problematic parking situation, but he did not go to the meeting because he could not � nd a place to park. It was not long a� er that when the mud lot got paved. � en someone (possibly Sandy � ayer) put up a sign there that named the former mud lot the “Robert D Haberstroh Memorial Parking Lot.” � at sign remained for several years.

Imagine Dr Haberstroh standing at the front of one of his classrooms during the few minutes before the lecture was to begin. Students would � le in and � nd their seats and many would have a newspaper with them to read while waiting for class to begin. Dr Haberstroh would come in and wait quietly at the front of the room for students to compose themselves and put down their papers so class could begin. Sometime’s this took a long time and the last student who looked up to see what was going on could be very embarrassed indeed. In some cases, this would lead to one of those “character building” lectures.

She is from Aurora, Colorado and enjoys snowboarding, dancing, and visiting the calming beaches of North Carolina. Amanda has received CSU’s Mechanical Engineering Diversity scholarship.From her freshman year, Amanda has held an o� cer position in CSU’s section of the Society of Women Engineers. She has attended many SWE regional conferences and one national conference. She is currently acting as the section’s fundraising director, and is the vice-president elect. Amanda enjoys SWE because it provides friendship and professional opportunities for women in the College of Engineering.Outside of engineering, Amanda is a resident assistant for CSU’s Housing and Dining Services. Last year, she was an RA for Academic Village Honors Hall; this semester, she is in Durward Hall. As a second-year RA,

Amanda has been a mentor to many members of her fellow sta� and serves as a reliable resource for her residents. She enjoys escaping the monotony of classwork by cra� ing, especially creating bulletin boards to educate residents, or creating decorations for the hall. Amanda greatly enjoys her position because it allows her to smooth the transition of incoming students to college life.Amanda participated in CSU’s Co-op program where she worked full time at Toyota’s Engineering and Manufacturing North American headquarters in Erlanger, Kentucky from June to December 2012. She was a member of Instrumentation Engineering for Toyota’s Powertrain division. Amanda was able to travel to di� erent manufacturing plants all across the south and midwest to help the audit labs procure equipment for testing. � e audit labs take a random sampling of the vehicles the plant manufactures, and performs quality tests including headlamp aim, water leak, emissions, etc. Amanda helped design and procure a speed calibration jig for the plant to accurately measure the speed of the car using external calibration equipment. She also helped procure safety equipment to ensure that team members could safely discharge a hybrid vehicle before preforming repairs. Having a Co-op experience that extended through seven months allowed Amanda to see her projects through to completion. Amanda returned to Kentucky to work for Toyota again this summer.
