Administrative and Fundraising Experience

At the University of North Texas, became the Founding Dean of the newly established College of Engineering on July 1, 2003. The College was formed with three departments: Computer Science and Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Engineering Technology. New programs have been added in Construction Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical and Energy Engineering. 

In 2004, started negotiations with NuConSTEEL, a local subsidiary of NuCoreSTEEL (the largest steel company in the United States) resulted in an annual $250K contract that effectively funded the Construction Engineering Technology program. A 2004 NSF award of $998,688 (still active) on “A Project- and Design-Oriented Innovative Electrical Engineering Program” allowed the beginning of the Electrical Engineering Department. Other awards include “A Project- and Design-Oriented Electrical Engineering Curriculum” ($30,150) in 2004, “Planning for an Innovative Interdisciplinary Mechanical and Energy Engineering Curriculum” ($99,955) in 2005, “Integrative Computer Education and Research in the Southwest: Preparing IT Graduates for 2010 and Beyond“($99,875) in 2005, and “A Project- and Design-Oriented Innovative Electrical Engineering Program“($5000) in 2006. And more recently, a $1.5M endowment from PACCAR (of which the local company Peterbilt is a subsidiary) facilitated the start of a new Mechanical and Energy Engineering Department in the College of Engineering at UNT.

At Wright State University (1995-2003), as Chairman and NCR Distinguished Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, interacted with chairs of other doctoral Computer Science programs in the state and obtained favorable treatment for a Computer Science Doctoral Program initiative that brought $500,000 annually to WSU, increasing to $842K in FY 2000. In conjunction with this grant and with the Miami Valley Economic Development Coalition, initiated a Center for Information Technologies with an Information Technology Research Institute as the R&D arm at WSU. Received awards for equipment for an information technology center infrastructure in collaboration with the Department of Psychology, the University of Cincinnati, and the Air Force Institute of Technology from the Ohio Board of Regents for $1.6M (of which $780K was for WSU) and from an NSF ARI award ($421K). Additionally, currently participating in the establishment of an experimental ATM network called OCARNet among the Computer Science doctoral institutions of Ohio. The departmental total external annual funding budget has increased from around $300K for the last 10 years before 1995 to a progressive ramp-up to over $5.3M in FY 2000. My personal contribution to that figure is only $400K, but I have hired faculty who have been very successful in seeking funding for basic research. Promoted the interaction with the Department of Biology for a joint proposal to NSF for a Bioinformatics undergraduate program that resulted in a $550K NSF award to the Department for such purpose. Part of the joint activities also resulted in $100K seed funding from the WSU to consider a Forensic DNA Typing enterprise as a start-up business with other faculty. Activities in this area have also yielded a cooperative arrangement involving the Genomics Research Institute Partnership (UC, Children's Hospital, P&G, WSU) funding for $430K for research in Bioinformatics using the Teradata database machine at WSU.

From July 1, 2000 to February 1, 2001 (upon the retirement of the charter Director), I served as Interim Director of the Information Technology Research Institute at Wright State University, which I had started previously and then hired its second Director. During this period, I performed the duties of this job in addition to the CSE Departmental Chair’s job.

At George Washington University (1985-1995), administrative duties were minimal, related only to the supervision of aspects of the Artificial Intelligence program within the department, as senior member of the group. While there, I was able to secure a significant equipment donation from AT&T. Directed three doctoral dissertations and five Master's theses.

As President of the IEEE Computer Society (August 1991 – December 1993): Managed a staff of some 50 employees with assets of some $12 million, started with an initial annual budget of $3.6 million and left it with a budget in the black of more than $7 million and larger assets after 2 years. Established three new magazines, hired editors, and became involved in detailed personnel matters as Chair of the Operations Committee. Obtained a greater political representation for the Computer Society in the Board of Directors of the IEEE, established and hired for the position of Executive Director, and was decisively involved with new building acquisitions and financing studies for the Society in California and Washington, D.C. Established an improved program of membership promotion. Established deep collaborative relations with sister Societies (such as ACM), which culminated with the creation of the Computer Sciences Accreditation Board now accepted by COPA. Managed a core of some 200 volunteers through an Executive Committee, Governing Board, and Technical Activities, Publications, Education, Standards, Area Activities, and Conference and Tutorials Boards. Was elected for two consecutive years to the IEEE Board of Directors and was involved in the administration of the parent organization (of about $44 million budget).

At the National Science Foundation: As Program Director from 1977-1978, administered a $3M program that included instrumentation grants under the Instructional Scientific Equipment Program (ISEP) and the Local Course Improvement Program (LOCI) with a national audience and responsibility for selection among 1400 proposals through panels and other review processes; interfaced on occasion with reviews from OSTP and congressional liaisons. As Program Director of the Interactive Systems Program in the Information, Robotics, and Intelligent Systems Division (September, 1992 to December, 1994) in the CISE Directorate managed a rapid growth broadly based program in human-computer interaction research and education, that grew from $3.6M in 1992 to $5.4M in 1994.

At the University of South Florida (1970-1985): established first a Computer Science and Engineering BS program within the Electrical Engineering Department, equipped laboratories through foundation ($250K from NSF with equal match from USF) and industrial (Honeywell, Sperry, Harris, IBM, AT&T, etc.) grants, became the first chair of the newly created department of Computer Science and Engineering with direct supervision of (eventually) some 20 staff members, became intimately involved in the funding promotion, design, and building plans of a $15 million dollar building for the Departments of EE and CS&E which was occupied shortly after my leaving the University, promoted funding for an Endowed Chair for the Department which was 80% funded at the time of departure, established new accredited programs in Computer Engineering and in Computer Science, was instrumental in the creation of a campus computer network funded by the State of Florida, was active in the establishment of an Instructional Television program to industry, became involved in Statewide common course equivalence evaluations, participated in the Governor's Technical Advisory Council that worked to attract industry to the region, wrote proposals and was among the PI finalists in national competitions for Software Engineering and Educational Network Centers.

At Old Dominion University (1963-1970): in addition to teaching duties, established and managed the first Academic Computer Center at the University, which mostly served the College of Engineering, after writing an NSF proposal that was funded to Dean Harold Lampe; deeply involved in the architectural decisions, layout, and equipment purchases for laboratories, for the first Engineering Building on campus, Kaufman Hall. During this time, I pursued and completed my doctoral studies (1966-1969) at the University of Maryland.
