Over the last thirty plus years, I have served as Department Chairman, Program Director, Faculty Senate President (twice), Chair of University Rank, Tenure, and Academic Freedom (many times), Chair of University Compensation Committee (many times), Vice President of ASME Region V, Chairperson of ASME Education group, and Chairman of numerous committees and seminars to name a few.
I initiated and served as coordinator of Gannon/GE Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering Program that paid students full tuition expenses and a stipend of $30,000 per year for a period of two years. The program ended in 2017 due to cutback at GE Transportation. Over 20 years, it resulted into 400 graduate engineering students and Gannon receiving multi million dollars including tuition and faculty salary.
I am also currently serving as Chair of College Industry Partnership Division (CIPD) of American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), Chair of ASME Committee on Engineering Accreditation (CEA), Chair of ASME Committee on Scholarship, Chair of Diversity and Inclusion Committee (DISC) of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), ABET Commissioner (Engineering Accreditation Commission team chair to International visiting teams). Over the years more than 30 technical papers have been published or presented to the various conferences. Material for PE and FE Refresher courses for ASME was developed. Eleven patents mostly on Cooling Systems with GE were granted.
