Kevin D. Dahm joined the Rowan University Chemical Engineering department in 1999, and was promoted from Associate Professor to Professor in 2013. He received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1992 and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1998. He has published over 30 journal articles, many of which are in the area of engineering pedagogy, on topics such as instilling metacognition in engineering students, pedagogically sound uses for process simulation, and assessment of student learning. He has received four national awards from the American Society for Engineering Education: the 2002 ASEE PIC-III Award, the 2003 Joseph J. Martin Award, the 2004 Raymond Fahien Award, and the 2005 Corcoran Award. In addition, he and his father Donald Dahm authored the book Interpreting Diffuse Reflectance and Transmittance: A Theoretical Introduction to Absorption Spectroscopy of Scattering Materials. Prior to joining Rowan University, he was a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley and an adjunct professor at North Carolina A&T State University.Donald P. Visco, Jr. is the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and a Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Akron. Previously he taught at Tennessee Technological University. Professor Visco's research work focuses on molecular design and thermodynamic modeling. He has won several awards for his research and educational activities, including both the Department of Energy PECASE and the ASEE National Outstanding Teaching Award. He has served as Chair of both the ASEE Chemical Engineering Division as well as the Education Division of AIChE. Professor Visco received both his B.S. and Ph. D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University at Buffalo, State University of New York.
