Dear Friends of Parks College,

The dedicated work of our students, faculty and staff has resulted in yet another outstanding year for Parks College. In comparison to last year, the graduating class increased from 113 to 121 the undergraduate enrollment increased from 657 to 693, the ACT scores of incoming fresh-men increased from 28 to 29, and the graduate enrollment increased from 68 to 76. Similarly, the number of submitted proposals increased from 30 to 39, the number of funded proposals increased from 4 to 10, the total amount of research funding secured in the year increased from $1M to $2.74M, the total amount of research funding available increased from $7.25M to $8.12M, and the total research expenditure in the year increased from $2.00M to $2.54M. The number of archival journal articles printed remained about steady at approximately 1.6 jour-nal articles per full-time faculty (58 articles in 1012 and 55 articles in 2013); and similarly the sum of gifts and donations remained flat at about $700k each year.

The Civil Engineering program graduated many engineers from the mid 1950s to 1971, and the program was re-started in 2009, thus graduating its first class of 19 Civil Engineers in the 21st Century this summer.

The growth of the graduate program since its inauguration in 2009 has resulted in another “first” in the history of Parks College. In May 2013, Parks College awarded the first PhD in Aviation in the world to Damon Lercel. This also constituted the first PhD awarded by Parks College in its history. With 76 students currently enrolled in the graduate program, several Masters and Doctoral degrees will soon follow.

We had three junior faculty leave during the year (Drs. Braemsfeld from AE/ME, Dr. Wagenseil from BME, and Dr. Wu from Civil) and four assistant professors hired (Dr. Scott Sell in BME, Dr. Silviya Zustiak in BME, Dr. Amanda Cox in Civil, and Dr. William Lindquist in Civil). In addition, we had two distinguished professors of worldwide reputation join the AE/ME Department: Dr. Paul Paris (recognized in the field as the “father” of Fracture Mechanics) and Dr. Dave Peters (a world authority in Aeroelasticity). As this publication is being prepared, we have 34 full-time faculty, and a total of 8 additional academic posts open in the College: the Chair and 3 faculty in BME; the Chair and 1 faculty in AEME; and the Chair and 1 faculty in Civil Engineering, making these unique opportunities for a team hire in each Department. Thus the number of faculty is expected to grow during the next year. Meanwhile Drs. Bledsoe, Condoor and Hindi have graciously agreed to serve the Departments of BME, AEME and Civil Engineering as Interim Chairs.

Parks College also hosted many sponsored events that brought many attendees to campus from near and far. The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) is in its fourth year and this summer 15 undergraduate students were engaged in a ten-week long research activity with our faculty. Parks College hosted the annual summer camp for rising juniors and seniors in high school during June. Thirty-six students from thirteen different states participated in engineering and aviation themed activities for five days. A senior design team from Aerospace Engineering won one of the three $20,000 awards given by the Border Security Agency to design, build, and test a novel UAV. Parks College, jointly with CASR, was represented for the first time at the annual AUVSI Conference held in Washington DC during August. Under the leadership of Dr. Condoor, entrepreneurship activities in the College such as the weekly innovation challenges and elevator pitch competitions continue to thrive. Dr. Condoor was also recognized for the iBook he created during the annual KEEN meeting in January 2013. Dr. Manoj Patankar was inducted as a fellow of RAS in the UK. Parks College received two Claire Booth Fellowships that will support two female engineering students towards their doctoral degree. Dr. John A. George received two awards: one for excellence in teaching, awarded by the SGA; and the other, the Lindbergh lifetime achievement award, given by the St. Louis section of AIAA . Dr. Riyadh Hindi received the Oliver L Parks faculty award. Parks College students continue to participate in regional and national competitions through student sections of professional organizations such as AIAA, ASME, BMES, SAE, IEEE, NIFA, SEDS and SWE. In addition, many students have obtained summer internships, a valuable experience as they enter the workforce.

Our alumni are in touch with us providing lectures on campus, leads for internships and employment, and donations. We are truly grateful for this and hope that they continue to be engaged with their alma mater in the coming years.

Parks College is a unique family of engineers and aviators sharing a common vision for excellence in everything they tackle, an eye for innovation and entrepreneurship, and a shared vision to apply our work to the benefit of the global society. Every day I am humbled by yet another achievement of a member of the Parks community, and honored to be a member of our effort to take Parks College to new levels of recognition and performance.

I hope you enjoy reading this summary annual report. Please drop me a note to share your thoughts and comments.

Sincerely,

DeanProfessor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Professor of Biomedical Engineering

TY DINKELSPIEL - AEROSPACE ENGINEERING 2014

EMILY HART - ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 2014

Ty began his internship with Virgin America in June 2013 in their Flight Operations Engineering Department, which mainly deals with aircraft performance and fuel economics. He’s been responsible for conducting weekly fuel reports, moni- toring APU usage, and many other duties. He has worked on fuel saving initiatives and monitored some performance factors of certain aircraft s in Virgin America’s fl eet. He was even able to sit in the cockpit during some fl ights to gather performance data from the plane while it was airborne. He has had an amazing experience and has loved every minute of working with Virgin America.

As a second-year engineering intern at Ameren Missouri, Emily was given a small instrument upgrade project on one of the energy center’s generator cooling systems. Emily was very surprised at how much freedom she had to complete her work. She not only planned meetings with sales reps and ordered new transmitters, but she also made wiring changes on company drawings, created design change documents for the scope of the project. She also wrote new DCS logic to control the instruments and bring data back to the operator graphics. Th e internship has helped Emily gain some of the confi dence and wide range of knowledge she needs to be a responsible engineer in project engineering.

MARY DISTLER - AEROSPACE ENGINEERING 2015

MATT HURLEY - AVIATION MANAGEMENT 2014

Over the Summer, Mary worked as a research assistant for the National Science Foundation in Darmstadt, Germany. Mary was placed with a Graduate Mechanical Engineering mentor at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, where she programmed and modeled the effects of various forces on car tires. After weeks of computerized lab testing, Mary and her mentor went out into the field and gathered data from maneuvers on a high end German car to see if the theories simulated in the lab were true in real-life scenarios. Mary was event able to travel around Germany and nearby countries on the weekends, touring major cities and experiencing the highly valued automobile culture that comes with German engineering.

In June 2013, Matt Hurley went to Boston, MA to be an Airport Management Intern at Norwood Memorial Airport (KOWD) for the Summer. Matt was given the opportunity to help perform the daily airfield inspections and learn about budgeting, construction, environmental oversight, security plans, emergency response procedures, and most of all, working with people. He did everything from attending airport meetings to typical errand-running for the airport manager. His biggest contribution on the job was as a radio operator for a large taxiway reconstruction project for three weeks. This project put him in charge of coordinating the safe movement of construction vehicles across the active runway with air traffic control.

2012 MERIT AWARD WINNERSEdward James “Jim” Dunne graduated from Saint Louis University- Parks College in 1962. He earned his Master’s Degree from Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) in 1964 and his doctoral degree from University of Illinois in 1971.

Jim enrolled in the ROTC program at Parks College, which set him on a twenty year illustrious career path in the US Air Force, retir-ing in 1982 as a Lt. Colonel. During his military tenure, he served at Kirkland AFB and Wright-Patterson AFB including assignments to Vietnam and Th ailand. His citations include the Bronze Star (1974) and the Meritorious Service Medal (1977) from US Air Force.

Jim’s contributions and accomplishments cover a wide spectrum. Jim is an inspiration to alumni and students alike through his distinguished career in the military and in academia. Inspired by Oliver L Parks, Jim has always known that education is the pathway to success. HE not only educated and mentored our future Air Force leaders at AFIT, but also continues to form young minds at the University of Dayton. His students say, “Dr. Dunne is tough, but fair.” He undoubtedly learned these attributes at Parks College, and they have served him well throughout his career.

John “Jack” E. Groneck, Jr graduated from Saint Louis Uni-versity- Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineer- ing. He later received his MBA from SLU in 1974. While attending high school and college, he worked in the aircraft industry in the electrical/ radio shop, and later in the design offi ce of Remmert-Werner. Upon grad- uation, he began a nearly 39 year illustrious career with McDonnell Air- craft and McDonnell Douglas Corporation, retiring in Decem-ber, 1996.

He spent his initial years on the F-4 wing assembly working with major tooling, eventually becoming an Assembly Line Liaison Support Supervi- sor. He then moved to the AV-8B Harrier aircraft as the Manufacturing Engineering Manager with a dual role as the AV-8B Production Manager where he and his team resolved the fuel wicking problem on the compo- site wing spars.

He directed a major assembly area, MD-11 Nose Assembly. Th is was his fi rst opportunity at directing the hands-on assembly workers. His fi nal assignment was as Director-Swiss F18 Indus-trial Program. Th is program provided support in Switzerland related to technology, major assemblies, and fi nal assembly.
