Software Spacetime Discontinuous Galerkin (SDG) Finite Element method: Over the past 15 years, I havebeen one of the principal developers of the SDG method. The main modules are meshing (Tent-Pitcher, Jeff Erickson), finite element solution, and postprocessing. This effort involved collabora-tions with computer scientists (geometry, parallel computing, and visualization), mathematicians,and physicists. This project has more than 300k lines of C++ code (individual effort: about 200klines). Some unique features of the highly modular and object oriented C++ software are:

– UTSI has no undergraduate students. Beside a few UTSI graduate students that takethese graduate courses, most of the students in these classes are from UTK and attendthe lectures through a distant education room in Knoxville.

– The low number of students in several of these classes is due to the low number of studentsin the UTSI campus and the graduate level nature of these courses.

– The maximum score in each category is 5.

• Training in teaching:
