CURRENT ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
Professor, Department of Engineering, Hofstra
University, 1983-present.
Provide innovative ideas for curriculum development. Revamped the freshman engineering program to stress ethics,
creativity, design and critical thinking. Wrote three
freshman engineering texts in support of this. Revised
the thermodynamics sequence, again with a text in the area.
Created and taught a course in the Natural Science department in Science and
Technology. Designed and teach a graduate course in Technology and
Public Policy regarding the impacts of technology on society. Collaborated with the
Director, Center for Technological Literacy, Hofstra
University, 1989-present.
Currently oversee a major National Science Foundation grant and have done so
for the past four years on a previous NSF grant. Hired staff and
managed programs, meeting all objectives while operating within the
budget. Smaller grants were received and administered in this time
period as well. As the Center for Technology reports to the Dean,
Principal Investigator National Science Foundation MSTP Project, 2003-2008. MSTP is a $11.5 million project designed to improve middle school mathematics in 10 participating school districts. The collaborative project works with SUNY Stony Brook and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Two person faculty teams, each comprising one faculty member with mathematics expertise, and one faculty member with science or engineering expertise, is linked to a district. These two team members, plus one middle school teacher in mathematics, one in science and one in technology education will form the Collaborative School Support Teams (CSST). In addition, the middle school principal and guidance counselor/social worker will be CSST members as well. The teams provide professional ongoing professional development for all middle school math, science and technology education teachers.
Principal Investigator National Science Foundation CCfT Project, 2006-2009. Career Curriculum for Technology (CCfT) is a three-year project to develop contemporary, high-interest curriculum materials for high school technology students and teachers that address standards-driven technological concepts and skills and promote promising STEM career choices. It is a consortium of two- and four-year institutions including Brookdale Community College, New Jersey; the South Central Region Bio-Link Center at Austin Community College, Texas; and Fulton-Montgomery Community College and Hofstra University in New York.
Co-Principal Investigator National Science Foundation ESTEEM Project,
2007-2010. Project
ESTEEM (Equitable Science, Technology, Engineering, Education, and Mathematics)
is a three-year advanced technological education (ATE) project that would
enhance women’s opportunities to succeed in studies leading to further
education and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM).

establishing a statewide professional development collaborative. The project is
initially providing workshops in the areas of materials/manufacturing and
information technologies to secondary school technology teachers through a
program that brings together community college technical experts, high school
teacher/leaders, and university pedagogical experts. The overarching goals are
to provide contemporary professional development to technology educators using
standards-based exemplary materials, to forge sustainable alliances between
community colleges and the technology education community, and to create a
professional development model that the colleges will sustain.
