Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Catching Up

Greetings All,

I apologize for being absent of late. Sometimes things just get a little crazy. Last week I was in New Orleans for 5 days of Navy duty followed by a 3 day conference on college industry partnerships. Both events were exciting and productive. We are just now getting off the ground with our new partnerships with Cirrus, Schwartz Redi-mix, and the UMD Medical School. Our students are excited as are our partners. Getting students to work with faculty for industry is going to be productive.

The free time in life lately has been spent in my role as volunteer assistant coach for the Hill City Boys Basketball team. I go to their practices every day and sit at the end of the bench during games for the purpose of giving individual instruction to players. Coaching youth even as old as high school students is extremely rewarding.

So in summary, I've been busy, but busy doing things that I highly recommend to everyone - finding a way to serve our country, attending professional development conferences, and volunteering free time to make a difference in young peoples' lives.

Stay warm.
