About: Alice M. Agogino is the Roscoe and Elizabeth Hughes Professor of Mechanical Engineering and is affiliated faculty at the Haas School of Business in their Operations and Information Technology Management Group. Her research interests include: community-based design; sustainable engineering; intelligent learning systems; information retrieval and data mining; multiobjective and strategic product design; nonlinear optimization; probabilistic modeling; intelligent control and manufacturing; sensor validation, fusion and diagnostics; wireless sensor networks; multimedia and computer-aided design; design databases; design theory and methods; MEMS/NEMS synthesis and computer-aided design; artificial intelligence and decision and expert systems; and gender/ethnic equity.
She has served in a number of administrative positions at UC Berkeley, including Chair of the Faculty Senate, Associate Dean of Engineering and Faculty Assistant to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost in Educational Development and Technology. Prof. Agogino also served as Director for Synthesis, an NSF-sponsored coalition of eight universities with the goal of reforming undergraduate engineering education, and continues as PI for the NEEDS (www.needs.org) and SMETE.ORG digital libraries of courseware in science, mathematics, engineering and technology.
Prof. Agogino received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New Mexico (1975), M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering (1978) from the University of California at Berkeley and Ph.D. from the Department of Engineering-Economic Systems at Stanford University (1984). Prior to joining the faculty at UC Berkeley, she worked in industry for Dow Chemical, General Electric and SRI International. She has authored over 150 scholarly publications; has won numerous teaching, best paper and research awards; and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). At NAE she served on the Committee on Engineering Education, working on the Technologically Speaking and the Engineer 2020 projects. She is currently a member of the National Research Council's Board on Education and the Women in Academic Science Engineering Committee. She has supervised 66 MS projects/theses, 26 doctoral dissertations and numerous undergraduate researchers.See Authors Posts (333) · March 24th, 2008 · Add a Comment
Engineers in Action Thumbnails. Click on image for catalog record.
Technology Thumbnails. Click on image for catalog record.
The Engineering Pathway has initiated a photo competition to highlight image thumbnails of its cataloged resources. The higher education Disciplinary Community pages will have two of these images at the top — one action image of people in the discipline and one technology image. The top candidates from the competition in each category are shown above. Please use the comment space below to vote and give us your comments on your favorites. Feel free to contribute other candidates as well.
The main K-Gray pages will also use these highlighted resources and their images in a banner near the top of the page — a K-12 resource will be highlighted on the left and a higher education resource on the right. A technology image will be in the middle. Some mockups of possible redesigns of these pages are at: http://epredesign.begins-here.com/. Note you can view the different mockups using the left navigation menu.
What do you think of these images and the resource they represent? Do they make this field of engineering seem exciting? inclusive?
