The following course titles reflect a variety of disciplines that I have taught at both graduate andundergraduate levels of instruction in environments ranging from seminars to large auditoriumclasses. The courses span Operations Managment, Quality Engineering, Economics, DecisionTheory, and MIS.

Benchmarking, Productivity, and Performance Measurement; Business Statistics; DecisionAnalysis; Deterministic Models in OR; Economic Decision Making; Engineering Economy; In-troduction to Computer Graphics; Introductory Statistics for Business; Integer Programming;Linear Programming; Management Information Systems; Management Science; Managerial De-cision Making; Microcomputers for Management; Principles of Operations Research for Man-agement; Probability and Statistics for Engineers; Quality Control and Reliability; QuantitativeDecision Making; Robust Design; Statistical Process Control; Stochastic Models in OR.

RESEARCH FUNDING

My research support has been provided by a number of organizations ranging from governmentagencies to private industry. Over the years my involvement with industry has provided in-teresting problems that focused my development of applications-driven theory. When possibleI have encouraged direct student involvement/support with industry sponsors, including havingmy graduate students develop and submit proposals for research projects directly to industry.
