The Kent D. Peaslee Junior Faculty Award
Special thanks to the AIST Foundation for selecting me
Very honored to receive this award named after my mentor and friend
I miss him very much!
I hope carry on Dr. Peaslee’s good work
Texas State University
Located in San Marcos TX Main campus spans 457 acres and
houses more than 50 academic schools
Over 35,000 undergrad and grad students
The RFM building Ingram School of Engineering Engineering Technology Materials Science and Engineering
Commercialization Focus on Industrial research
Engineering Technology
Bachelor of Science in Engineering TechnologySpecializations:
Construction Engineering Technology Electrical Engineering Technology Environmental Engineering Technology Manufacturing Engineering Technology Mechanical Engineering Technology Master of Science in Engineering Technology
Specializations: Construction Science Manufacturing Engineering Technology Industrial Engineering Technology
Ingram School of Engineering
The Ingram School of Engineering offers three undergraduate degree programs:
Manufacturing Engineering Industrial Engineering Electrical Engineering Together, the Engineering and Engineering
Technology programs house over 20 technical labs and have an average enrollment of more than 1,200 students per semester
The Materials Science and Engineering Commercialization Program
The Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization (MSEC) program at Texas State is an integrated effort based on the university’s biology, chemistry and biochemistry, physics, engineering, engineering technology and business school programs
The MSEC program’s goal is to train graduate scientists and engineers to perform interdisciplinary research while equipping them to emerge as effective entrepreneurial leaders in the advancement of 21st-century global discovery and innovation
Current push is to cultivate a metallurgy component to the program
Addition of steel industry related educational curriculum and research projects will enhance the mission all three departments
Metalcasting at Texas State
Texas State is an FEF accredited school
Student chapters of AFS, ASME, and SME
The Foundry and Heat Treatment Lab 5000+ square foot facility Two 100lb coreless induction furnaces Thermal analysis Green sand, no-bake sand, lost foam,
investment shell Programmable furnaces for heat
treating (up to 1600 C) in air or with a purge kit for protective atmosphere

New and Planned Equipment Purchases KDP Junior Faculty Award funds
leveraged with department funds and funds from industry to increase steel related curriculum and research
Jominy end quench - $3,000 to fabricate – added to the TECH 4330 course curriculum
300 lb ferrous melting capacity induction furnace - $6,400 +50% in-kind donation from Emsco
Upton model PE-12-15-15-480-3 externally heated salt pot furnace (250 - 900ºC) – $16,750 ($5,000 AIST – $11,750 department match)
IRM Horizontal 2-High Hot and Cold Rolling Mill - $81,250 Actively pursuing funding
Collaborations with local steel manufactures
critical challenge facing the steel industry - how to remain competitive with other emerging high strength materials
must continue to be an industry driven toward expanding innovation and increasing the number of young engineering and technical professionals that choose steel industry related careers
Texas State with it’s student body of over 35,000 represents an untapped pool of young talent for steelmakers
I will leverage funds from AIST with local industry to establish steel related programs at Texas State
Texas State University partnership with CMC Seguin
Significant progress has already been made toward forging a collaborative relationship between Texas State and CMC
Training sessions to understand day-to-day operations CMC has provided guest lecturers for the Engineering
Technology and Materials Science Departments, speaking on career opportunities and the technological aspects of steelmaking
Representation on our Engineering Technology Industrial Advisory Board
In-kind donations of equipment and ferroalloys ($5,000) Cash donation of $5,000 to support steel related
programs at Texas State
Texas State University partnership with CMC Seguin
An internship program has now been established between CMC Seguin and Texas State
Two students (one male and one female) from the Engineering and Engineering Technology departments have completed paid internships in the Meltshop at CMC
Two recent graduates from Engineering Technology have taken full time employment at CMC
The amount of internship assistance provided by CMC totaled more than $15,000
The total amount of financial support by CMC to Texas State programs and students totals more than $25,000
I would like to personally thank CMC
For their outstanding support of our
programs
Technological Careers and Scholarships in the Steel Industry!
Find out about exciting careers and scholarships! Come join us for a tour of CMC Seguin When: Friday, October 3rd @ 12:45 pm
(we will meet in RFM 2240 lobby and drive over) Where: CMC Seguin
Number 1, Steel Mill Drive, Seguin, TX
* Sign-up in advance with Sylvia in RFM 2240 by Oct. 1 CMC – leading producer of special quality steel long products
CMC employs state-of-the art technology in over 200 locations
Career and internship opportunities for all eng and tech majors!
* Please note: You must wear long pants and close-toed shoes for this tour, no shorts, skirts, flip-flops or sandals!
Fall 2014 Tour of CMC Seguin
24 students attended a tour of CMC Seguin
Approximately 50% were women or minorities
Students toured the EAF, LMF, Caster, Hot mill, and quality departments
Goal was to expose students to technical careers in the steel industry
Technical presentation on steelmaking by CMC personnel
Tour started with a presentation on steelmaking and career opportunities for different technical disciplines
Students at the EAF
The EAF “stole the show” and was the favorite part of the tour for most students
Touring the caster
Steel is cool! Gets a thumb’s up from Texas
State students!
Students at the rolling mill
A crash course introduction to roll pass design
Having some fun in the quality department
Presentations on Scholarships, Career and Research Opportunities in the
Steel Industry
After the tour, students were given an introduction to the benefits of joining AIST and Material Advantage
Undergraduate steel research programs at Texas State were highlighted Students also learned about internship and full time career opportunities
at CMC The tour/presentation combo was a very effective means of recruiting
Promoting AIST and Material Advantage to the MSEC Students
The MSEC program is the newest PhD program at Texas State Students and faculty were largely unaware of the benefits of
participation in Material Advantage and attendance at MS&T, TMS, and AISTech.
Engineering, Engineering Technology, and MSEC programs have teamed up to initiate an inaugural chapter of Material Advantage at Texas State!
Partnerships with the SPARK Program
The mission of the SPARK program is to inspire, support, and empower undergraduate women majoring in engineering, engineering technology, computer science, and mathematics at Texas State University
Funded by the National Science Foundation Part of the College of Science and Engineering's goal to
increase the number of women graduating with degrees in STEM
Several SPARK students interested in technical careers in the Steel Industry
Undergraduate Research
Currently, there are two undergraduate students and one graduate student that are working on steel related research projects
Plans are to increase the number to 4 students by the end of the academic year
Newest member: SPARK student Cassie Elliot
Funded in part by AIST
SPARK student Cassie Elliot –Newest member of the steelResearch team
Future Plans
The LBJ Student Center will host the first Steel Industry Day during the Spring 2014 semester. Many rooms available for Steel Industry events. Coincide with Spring Career Fair
Continue to reach out to local steel industry for their support
Increase Texas State Student involvement in steel research projects and industry events
Initiate steel related senior design and capstone projects
Industry tours and student networking events
Steel Industry Day Spring 2014 – working on plans now
Involve high school students and faculty in summer steelmaking camps
Increase the attendance of Texas State Students at MS&T and AISTech
