Other Activities<br />
<strong>Curriculum</strong> Development: Insitute for Design Engineering and Applications (IDEA)<br />
I am the founding director of IDEA (www.idea.northwestern.edu) which has been chartered with implementing<br />
“design throughout the curriculum” at <strong>Northwestern</strong>’s McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.<br />
IDEA builds on an earlier effort of mine, the development of an ambitious freshman program called<br />
“Engineering Design and Communication” (EDC). EDC is now a standard part of the engineering curriculum<br />
at <strong>Northwestern</strong> and is taken by nearly 400 students annually. EDC introduces students to a customer-oriented<br />
process of engineering design, and it teaches design and technical communication in a highly integrated<br />
fashion. My responsibilities have included teaching, course development, creation of an 8000 square foot<br />
“Engineering Design Studio,” hiring and supervision of five permanent staff members, and fundraising.<br />
Commercialization: Cobotics, Inc. and Chicago PT, LLC<br />
I have a strong interest in product development. In 1997 my colleague Michael Peshkin and I formed a company to<br />
develop commercially viable products in the area of cobotics and related “Intelligent Assist Devices”. I took a<br />
leave during the 99-00 academic year to jump-start this company. Cobotics Inc., now under the ownership of<br />
The Stanley Works, provides Intelligent Assist Devices to the industrial marketplace. In 2003 Prof. Peshkin<br />
and I, along with colleague David Brown, co-founded Chicago PT, which is working to develop assistive<br />
devices for physical therapy.<br />
Board Membership<br />
I am a member of the Board of Directors of Methode Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: METH). Methode designs,<br />
manufactures, and markets component devices and subsystems world-wide for Original Equipment<br />
Manufacturers (OEMs) of information processing and networking equipment, voice and data communications<br />
systems, consumer electronics, automobiles, aerospace vehicles and industrial equipment. Products employ<br />
electrical, electronic, and optoelectronic technologies such as sensors, interconnects, and controls
