Joined UD faculty in 1958. There exists a friendly relationship between faculty and students that is formally fostered through our student chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and informally nurtured through get-togethers, office visitations and counseling on academic or personal problems. Mechanical engineering technology offers a cooperative education program. This allows the student to alternate work and study semesters after the completion of the freshman year. The work consists of a job suited to his or her area of interest.
Many students acquire experience through internships, summer work or part-time work.
The mechanical engineering technology program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Department faculty are involved in accreditation activities as a service to the profession and to ensure that the program keeps current. One faculty member is a recent past national president of the Fluid Power Society. Another faculty member received the University's Alumni Award in Teaching for 1980-81 and has published three engineering technology textbooks. Another faculty member is a member of the Executive Committee of the Design Engineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and past chairman of the Reliability, Stress Analysis and Failure Prevention Committee.
