Professor

"I like to get students into discovering that they know far more than they think they did and that they are in fact very good thinkers."

"I also feel I have an obligation to excite and stretch the minds of the people I teach."

"I almost always teach in a way that causes the students to learn how to work in a team of people and cooperate and think as a group"

"Since I have an endowed chair, with the Manufacturing Systems Engineering program at Lehigh, donated by Harvey Wagner, I teach the courses that I think would make a difference"

I created the capstone course that we call mse433, and it's never been the same twice in a row. It is a course on technology as a strategic weapon.
I also teach Engineering and Society, Computers and Society, and others if the opportunity arises.
I just taught a course called Issues in American Competitiveness. I taught it with two other colleagues ... Dave Landow(?), an adjunct professor, who's a senior vice president from
"Al Pense [Provost, Lehigh University] said that we've become a learning institution...I've been trying to be a learning institution facilitator as opposed to a professor."
"I try to get involved with students who want to be working in the state-of-the-art at the frontier."
I typically supervise half a dozen or so masters students, one or two Ph.D. students, but the students who work with me find they have to think a lot on their own. I'm enamored with the Socratic technique ... answering a question with a question probing and causing people to answer their own questions. What students get is a lot of probing. I just point them in a direction, and say "well did you read this, or did you consider that, and when you did, what do you think of it?"
"Peter Likins [President, Lehigh University] told me that, as a professor, I should make everything I do at Lehigh University count for six things, and that they should always make me a better teacher."
(List the 6 things here.)
