2002 College of Engineering & Technology Special Commendation Award
In recognition of my efforts in successfully guiding our department through the ABET re-accreditation process as the Undergraduate Coordinator.

2003 Brigham Young University Technology Transfer Award
Awarded for many years of success in technology transfer.  Co-recipient with Jim Nelson and Alan Zundel.  At the time of the award, our software was the most successful tech transfer project in BYU history.

2007 Utah Engineering Educator of the Year
Awarded by the Utah Chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies.
   
Teaching University Courses
I have taught the following courses:
CE En 270 – Computer Methods in Civil Engineering
CE En 341 – Elementary Soil Mechanics
CE En 540 – Geo-Environmental Engineering
CE En 547 – Ground Water Modeling
CE En 641 – Advanced Soil Mechanics
   
Dept./College Committees I have served on numerous faculty committees at the department and college level.  I served as the undergraduate coordinator for our department from 2000-2006.  As the undergraduate coordinator, I was the chair of the undergraduate committee.  This committee has responsibility for all undergraduate curriculum and scholarships issues in the department.  I was also responsible for preparing our department for our ABET accreditation visit in the fall of 2002.  During this visit, we were evaluated under the new ABET 2000 guidelines and passed easily.  These guidelines represent a substantial departure from past accreditation practice.  Accordingly, I was in charge of reformulating our department objectives and designing an assessment strategy that is in harmony with the new ABET 2000 approach.  I established an automated strategy for archiving our assessment data and I prepared the self-study document that was sent to ABET in the spring of 2002.  I am currently serving as the chair of the Faculty Development committee and on the College Building Committee.

Research Laboratory Director I am currently the director of the Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL).  The EMRL consists of three faculty, (Jim Nelson, Alan Zundel, and myself), eight full-time research associates, and over 35 graduate and undergraduate students.  The mission of the EMRL is to provide a collaborative research environment where members can pursue cutting-edge research in groundwater, surface water, and watershed modeling.  The EMRL is funded through a combination of external research grants and royalties from off-campus sales of modeling software developed at the EMRL (GMS, SMS, and WMS).  The annual operating budget for the EMRL is $1,500,000.  The primary sponsor of EMRL research are the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi.  Other sponsors include the Federal Highway Administration, the Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency.  The EMRL funds numerous graduate students (including three Ph.D. students) and involves a large number of undergraduate students in research projects.
   
Software Through my research, I have directed the development of a computer program called the "Department of Defense Groundwater Modeling System" (GMS).  GMS is a state-of-the-art three-dimensional environment for ground water model construction and visualization.  It includes tools for site characterization including geostatistics and solid modeling of soil stratigraphy.  It also includes interfaces to a large number of ground water models including MODFLOW, MODPATH, MT3DMS, SEAM3D, RT3D, UTCHEM, FEMWATER, NUFT, SEEP2D, FACT, and ADH.  GMS has been designed using a conceptual model approach where model input is created in a grid independent fashion using GIS vector objects.  The model discretization is then performed automatically.  It also contains state-of-the-art tools for visualization of 3D model results.  GMS is the most comprehensive and sophisticated groundwater modeling software available and is used by over 6000 organizations in over 90 countries.
   
Seminars/Short Courses I have taught approximately fifty seminars and short courses at various locations in the United States and internationally (China, Korea, Australia, Germany).  The course topics have included beginning and advanced ground water modeling, and computer simulation of natural attenuation and bio-remediation.  The courses are sponsored by National Ground Water Association and Environmental Modeling Systems, Inc.
   
Technical Exchange
Program		 At the invitation of the university president, Merrill Bateman, the EMRL launched the BYU-China Water Resources Technical Exchange Program in the spring of 2001.  This three-year program involves a series of seminars, hosting visiting professors, and providing EMRL software at a substantial discount.  Our first seminar was held in May of 2001 at Beijing Normal University.  Over sixty high-level engineers and researchers from all over China attended the seminar.  Keynote addresses for the seminar were made by representatives of the U.S. Embassy and the Chinese Water Ministry.  The main focus of the four-day seminar was to train the Chinese attendees how to use EMRL software to help solve some of China’s pressing water resource management problems.  As the director of the EMRL, I was heavily involved in developing the seminar and I also taught the classes in the seminar related to ground water modeling.
