A few years ago I put out an article entitled Partying Like It’s 1987: Running WEAP87 and SPILE (and other programs) on DOSBox, where I describe the use of DOSBox in running engineering software (and also Windows 3.1.) A great deal of engineering software developed in the DOS era can still be used for engineering design […]
Note: this is the first video presentation I did for this course when the COVID emergency hit in March 2020. There were many more for this and my other courses, some of which led to this award in 2021. The material I teach has changed since I made this video.
This ceremony took place last month at UTC. I was the “matchmaker” for the agreement; after UTC signed a similar agreement with Covenant College, I thought “why not Lee?” Being well embedded and known in the Church of God (and my wife a Lee graduate,) I reached out to Dr. Debbie Murray, Lee’s Vice President for Academic Affairs. Her response and that of from Dr. Paul Conn, Lee’s President, was positive. Then I approached UTC’s Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, Dr. Daniel Pack, and he was receptive. The rest, as they say, is history.
An articulation agreement like this specifies that the students spends three years at Lee and two at UTC, obtaining an engineering degree at the end. Making this available is a step forward for both institutions. Additionally Lee students won’t have to make a major move (if any) to complete their degree, since the two institutions are about 30 miles apart.
This has been one of the most gratifying things I have been involved with both in my years in the Church of God and at UTC.
