2. Administrative Vision  Amalgamated experiential learning as part of comprehensive and rigorous academic programs.  Developed key linkages with municipal, county, state, and federal agencies resulting in paid internships and full time professional positions for students.  Actively developing unique curriculum through project-based learning experiences that will prepare students to successfully compete in a world society.  Developed linkages with several disciplines including: Environmental Geosciences, Geology, Computer Science, Criminology, Computer Information Systems, Geography, Planning, Archaeology, and integrated studies programs.  A life-long philosophy that serves to demonstrate to administrators and legislators that institutions of learning recognize the value of formal classroom and real-world experiences as a necessary duality in a student’s preparation for lifetime career pursuits.

4.  Analyzed learning problems, developed objective tests, performance standards, and other evaluative instruments to measure student achievement and mitigate instructional delivery and curriculum design.  Advised undergraduate and graduate students regarding courses and professional career preparation.  Analyzed program trends, needs, and requirements; and made revisions in keeping with national level standards.  Organized on-the-job training programs and internships for students through local, state, and federal agencies.  Evaluated qualifications of staff and faculty for positions in the department.  Evaluated administrative policy and procedures through department, college, and campus-wide committees.  Conducted course site reviews of faculty to assure effectiveness; and made oral or written critiques on instructor delivery, technique, and quality of course materials and training aids.

6. Curriculum, Program, and Laboratory Development  Planned, coordinated, and developed components of instructional design including equipment, laboratory facilities, maintained several budgets from three separate grants; and provided technical guidance based on findings of occupational analysis.  Wrote grants and was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).  Designed and developed technical documents and programmed text; conducted, and evaluated specific content, organization, style, format of course materials (computer-assisted laboratory instruction) and pedagogic requirements for a curriculum in the earth and environmental sciences.  Developed a program (curriculum including course lectures, laboratory exercises, and internships) in Applied Geospatial Analysis , which was one of the first (1990) comprehensive undergraduate programs in the mapping sciences of its time.
