The Engineering Dynamics Course Companion, Part 2

Dr Edward Diehl obtained his doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut in December 2016. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Hartford in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Prior to joining U Hartford, he was a lecturer (2009-2017) at the United States Coast Guard Academy in both the Mechanical Engineering section and Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering section. He worked as a Principal Engineer (2006-2009, 1996-2000, and 1992-1995) for Seaworthy Systems, Inc., self-employed (2000-2006), and an analyst (1995-1996) for General Dynamics/Electric Boat. He is a registered Professional Engineer in Connecticut. He obtained a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer at Hartford in 1996. He is a proud graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, class of 1992, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Engineering Systems. His research interests include solid mechanics pedagogy, gear vibration and fault modeling, and mechanism design.
