About the Authors
GEORGE E. DIETER is Glenn L. Martin Institute Professor of Engineering at the University of Maryland. The author received his B.S. Met.E. degree from Drexel University and his D.Sc. degree from Carnegie Mellon University. After a stint in industry with the DuPont Engineering Research Laboratory, he became head of the Metallurgical Engineering Department at Drexel University, where he later became Dean of Engineering. Professor Dieter later joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University as Professor of Engineering and Director of the Processing Research Institute. He moved to the University of Maryland in 1977 as professor of Mechanical Engineering and Dean of Engineering, serving as dean until 1994.
Professor Dieter is a fellow of ASM International, TMS, AAAS, and ASEE. He has received the education award from ASM, TMS, and SME, as well as the Lamme Medal, the highest award of ASEE. He has been chair of the Engineering Deans Council, and president of ASEE. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He also is the author of Mechanical Metallurgy, published by McGraw-Hill, now in its third edition.
LINDA C. SCHMIDT is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland. Dr. Schmidts general research interests and publications are in the areas of mechanical design theory and methodology, design generation during conceptual design, design rationale capture, and effective student learning on engineering project design teams.
Dr. Schmidt completed her doctorate in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University and B.S. and M.S. degrees from Iowa State University. Dr. Schmidt is a recipient of the 1998 U.S. National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Award. She co-founded RISE, a summer research experience that won the 2003 Exemplary Program Award from the American College Personnel Associations Commission for Academic Support in Higher Education. Dr. Schmidt earned the American Society of Engineering Educations 2008 Merryfield Design Award.
