A Workshop For Indian Engineering Faculty Under The Indo Us Collaboration In Engineering Education

Vinod Lohani, Virginia Tech Vinod K Lohani is an associate professor in the Engineering Education Department (EngE) and an adjunct faculty in the Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech. He received a PhD in civil engineering from Virginia Tech in 1995. His research interests are in the areas of knowledge modeling, water and energy sustainability, engineering learning modules for freshmen, and international collaboration. He led a major curriculum reform project (2004-09), funded under the department-level reform program of the NSF, at Virginia Tech. A spiral curriculum approach is adopted to reformulate engineering curriculum in bioprocess engineering in this project. He co-authored an award winning paper with his student Dr. Jennifer Mullin, first PhD graduate in EngE, and others at the 2007 annual conference of ASEE. He received the College of Engineering (CoE) Faculty Fellow award in 2008 and is selected to receive the W.S. ‘Pete’ White Innovation in Engineering Education Award in 2010 from the CoE.
