ABSTRACT:


As Wright State University has downsized, weathered legal trouble, a faculty strike, a budget crisis, and a global pandemic, two Engineering departments jockey for most students per department in any given year while both programs consistently earn national recognition in quality and student success.  This presentation will highlight student work of the past two years by WSU’s outstanding graduating seniors.

 

Craig Baudendistel, a graduate of WSU with a BS, MS, and Ph.D in mechanical engineering, worked 2-3 years in AFRL exploring and validating component life models and simulation. Having fostered a love for teaching during graduate school, he returned to teach at WSU and helped implement a novel restructuring of the curriculum in engineering. Craig has won the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching at the Instructor and Lecturer rank and numerous Outstanding Teaching Awards from the Department and College levels.
