En résumé

I have come to believe that technology does not hold all of the answers, and in fact if the engineer moves to the technical solution without a collegial (in the anthropological sense, where the power structure is equal) relationship with the clients or traditional people, the project will likely fail. I find it fulfilling to educate young people, through practice, of this fundamental yet surprisingly little known (or at least under utilized) relationship.

  • Colorado School of Mines - Professor Emeritus

    1986 - 2010 I recently retired from Colorado School of Mines to focus more of my time on Humanitarian Engineering activities. Over the past 25 years I have worked with over 1000 students on hundreds design projects ranging from hybrid electric vehicles (several years prior to their introduction to the market), advanced transportation systems for the Colorado mountain corridor and, more recently, water and energy projects in the "developing" (or a better word) "traditional" world.

    Past research areas have included fluid mechanics and heat/mass transfer associated with:
    1. Salt Gradient Solar Ponds,
    2. Glass and ceramic fiber manufacturing, industrial furnace modeling and
    3. Understanding methane flows in coal mines.

    Past consulting jobs have included investigations leading to an understanding of:
    1. Failure modes in home heating systems (forced air and hydronic),
    2. Fire hazards in small garden machinery,
    3. Failure modes in small (3 story) elevator systems and
    4. High speed video use and small instrument development and analysis for electric toothbrush evaluation.
