Randy Haupt, new chairman for electrical engineering, was director for operations, Department of Electrical Engineering, at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Ted Batchman, dean, also announced that two junior faculty have joined the College of Engineering as part of a growing environmental engineering program. Charles Glass, new civil engineering professor, was a graduate research assistant at the University of Colorado. Amy Childress, new civil engineering professor, was a graduate research assistant at the University of California, Los Angeles. We're also committed to growth and complementing the excellent programs that are well-established here.
Wood is an expert in alternative fuels and energy conservation.
At Arizona State, he was heavily involved in the development of electric race vehicles. Haupt is an expert in electromagnetics who will develop research focusing in emerging technology related to computer engineering and communications. Glass and Childress are both environmental engineers. Glass has studied the optimization of denitrification of high nitrate waste in sequencing batch reactors. Childress' expertise is in the physical and chemical processes for water and wastewater treatment.
