developed a methodology to support low clearance immersive, intuitive manual assembly while using low-cost desktop-based Virtual Reality systems with haptic force-feedback. Research interests: virtual reality (VR) applications in mechanical design, design methodology and engineering education.
Dr. Anne M Lucietto, Purdue UniversityDr. Lucietto has focused her research in engineering technology education and the understanding of engineering technology students. She teaches in an active learning style which engages and develops practical skills in the students. Currently she is exploring the performance of engineering technology students in the classroom and using that knowledge to engage them in their studies. Dr. Lucietto is a Fellow in the Society of Women Engineers, Senior Member of IEEE, and a member of other professional organizations.Dr. Jacquelyn Kay Nagel, James Madison University Dr. Jacquelyn K. Nagel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering at James Madison University. She has eight years of diversified engineering design experience, both in academia and industry, and has experienced engineering design in a range of contexts, including product design, bio-inspired design, electrical and control system design, manufacturing system design, and design for the factory floor. In 2012, Dr. Nagel was recognized by the National eWeek Foundation and IEEE-USA as one of the New Faces of Engineering for her pioneering work in bio-inspired design. In 2013, she attended the National Academy of Engineering's (NAE) fifth Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium where she was recognized as an innovative engineering educator. Dr. Nagel earned her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Oregon State University and her M.S. and B.S. in manufacturing engineering and electrical engineering, respectively, from the Missouri University of Science and Technology.Dr. Diane L Peters P.E., Kettering University Dr. Peters is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Kettering University.
