Research

Current research involvement includes a study of the curriculum and
technology in the program. The study entitled “Technology Curriculum: An
Assessment” is redefining whether training received by students were
meeting the needs of industry, whether our students having difficulty in
perusing their careers in the field for which they were trained. Are they
able to compete both in industry and in furthering their education? What
programmatic changes need to be made to allow for greater flexibility with
newer and emerging technologies.

Materials in construction and the energy efficiency of buildings is also
one of my concerns. A few years ago I received funding to develop methods
and usage of formed steel in residential construction. Steel-framing was
used to conduct construction procedures and instruction/information in real
time. Project is on-going and an assessment is warranted to determine
outcomes and involvement. This interest covers the areas of quality,
performance, and productivity in education involving human and natural
resources
