MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Dear friends of Parks College,
The dedicated work of our students, faculty and staff, and the assistance in various forms we receive from alumni and friends, has resulted in yet another outstanding year for Parks College. The year started and ended with academic accreditation for our programs. In August 2013 the aerospace, biomedical, electrical and mechanical engineering programs were fully reaccredited by ABET. Additionally, with its first graduating class in 2011, the computer engineering program received its initial accreditation. Not only did these programs receive accreditation, but all engineering programs were accredited for the maximum allowable period of six years. The engineering physics program received its initial accreditation for a period of two years. The civil engineering program had its inaugural graduating class in 2013 and applied for its initial accreditation this academic year. We are very pleased to report it has also been fully accredited for six years, until fall 2019, and effective retroactively from fall 2012. These accreditation processes are rigorous reviews of the programs and require concerted and significant effort by everyone involved. We were also rewarded with considerable success in our chair and faculty searches. In August 2013 Amanda Cox, Ph.D. and William Lindquist, Ph.D. were appointed Assistant Professors of Civil Engineering. Though the appointments of the following faculty are effective for the start of the 2014-15 academic year, the searches to appoint them occurred in the 2013-14 academic year and the effort paid very handsomely. Professor Sridhar Condoor, Ph.D., was appointed Chair of the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department; Professor Michelle Sabick, Ph.D., was appointed Chair of our Biomedical Engineering Department; Professor Ronaldo Luna, Ph.D., was appointed Chair of our Civil Engineering Department; Srikanth Gururajan, Ph.D. was appointed Assistant Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering; Natasha Case, Ph.D., Andrew Hall, Ph.D. and Yan Gai, Ph.D. were appointed Assistant Professors of Biomedical Engineering; and Jalil Kianfar, Ph.D. was appointed Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering. The new department chairs and professors appointed represent the largest number of academics hired in one year in the history of the College, and will be instrumental in the pursuit of the strategic goals of the College and University. The new faculty hires will increase funded research and research outputs, as well as help us develop new academic programs in the immediate future. I am very grateful to the search committees for their diligent and efficient work to run all these successful faculty searches concurrently. Having awarded the first doctoral degree in Aviation in the world in May 2013, Parks College awarded another first at our 2014 Pre-commencement Ceremony: the first doctoral degree in Engineering awarded at Parks College to Junsik Lee. This is the culmination of many years of effort to start and nurture our graduate programs. Under Riyadh Hindi’s capable leadership the graduate program grew: from 58 graduate students in 2012 to 68 in 2013. We are expecting about 100 graduate students to be enrolled in 2014. The undergraduate student population is also experiencing a healthy growth, which we expect will continue. Overall, enrollment in the College has increased 23% in the last four years. Research output and cash received in donations continue to increase at a healthy pace. The above are only the means we use to pursue our main goal: our Jesuit mission compels us to excel in research-led education, to prepare our students to be the leaders of tomorrow and service to humanity. As you will see in the following pages our students continue to excel in academic and extracurricular achievements. Parks College is a unique family of engineers and aviators sharing a common vision for excellence in everything they tackle. With an eye for innovation and entrepreneurship, we share a vision to apply our work to the benefit of the global society. Every day I am humbled by yet another achievement of a member of the Parks community. I am deeply honored to be a member of our effort to take Parks College to new levels of recognition and performance. I hope in the following pages you enjoy reading what else we have been working on. Please contact me directly to share your thoughts and comments. Sincerely,
Theodosios Alexander, Sc.D. Dean Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Professor of Biomedical Engineering

PARKS COLLEGE FSAE RACING TEAM The Parks Racing FSAE team attended the yearly competition in Lincoln, Nebraska hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Everyone’s hard work paid off as the team of 2013-2014 was the first Parks Racing team to pass technical inspection in 7 years. Unfortunately, clutch failure prevented participation in dynamic events. This year’s team should still be very proud. There were a handful of teams at the event that failed to pass inspection even after attempting to modify components on their chassis. The team placed well in the Cost Report aspect of the competition and received many compliments from the FSAE judges on the overall appearance of the car. The team is looking forward to recruiting more passionate members and passing on the knowledge as well as the experience that participating in Parks Racing has offered them.

1. On July 16, Bernard Harris, Jr., M.D., the first African American to walk in space, met nearly 100 campers participating in the ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp at both Saint Louis University and Texas Tech. Harris spoke about his educational background and his career with NASA to a classroom full of campers at SLU, as well as interacting with participants in Texas Tech via Skype. Harris received his medical degree from Texas Tech in 1982. “You were all born for a reason,” he told the group of middle-school students. “It’s your job to figure out what that reason is. Once you do, and if you work hard, I know you’ll be successful.”
3. COPPER (SLU-01), Saint Louis University’s first spacecraft designed, built, tested and operated by students at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology, launched Tuesday, Nov. 19, from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island, Virginia. The Air Force Research Laboratory and NASA Missouri Space Grant funded the project development and NASA sponsored the launch. COPPER’s mission is to test the effectiveness of a commercial infrared camera for in-space navigation and object detection, as well as observing the Earth in the infrared spectrum. COPPER is a one kilogram, 10-centimeter cube design and consists of commercially-available spacecraft parts and student-developed electronics. One of the most significant student-led efforts was the development of a camera-interface board using a custom field programmable gate array. Parks College students will continue to operate COPPER for 12 months from a radio control station in McDonnell-Douglas Hall at Saint Louis University. The spacecraft will naturally de-orbit in less than four years.

2013 ALUMNI MERIT AWARD WINNERS Dr. Ken Atkins received his B.S. in aeronautical engineering from Saint Louis University’s Parks College in 1958. After Parks, Atkins served nine years as an officer and pilot in the U.S. Air Force. During this service, he earned his M.S. in aerospace engineering (USAF Institute of Technology). Post USAF, he completed his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering at the University of Illinois. Atkins next joined NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for a successful 34 year career involving key leadership roles in advancing NASA’s exploration of the solar system. These ranged from mission design to management of power, commanding and data handling on robotic spacecraft. The capstone was being named Project Manager of the Stardust sample return mission to comet Wild 2. Stardust became NASA’s first successful sample return since Apollo by flying through the dust cloud near the nucleus, collecting particles and returning them to Earth (January 2006). Honored for this achievement, Stardust’s Sample Return Capsule (SRC) now resides in the National Air and Space Museum’s Milestones of Flight Gallery. After formal retirement in 2002, Atkins returned to JPL in a part-time role providing mentoring activities and developing a workshop for training JPL project managers. He retired fully in May 2008.
John Cantwell received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Saint Louis University’s Institute of Technology in 1957 and his doctorate in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame in 1962 under the direction of Ky Fan. He learned to teach as a teaching assistant at Notre Dame under the tutelage of Arnold Ross. He also spent a year at Wayne State University and a year at Northwestern University. After his doctorate, he spent two years at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton as assistant to Marston Morse and then taught at the University of Iowa. He returned to Saint Louis University in 1967 and retired in 2012. Cantwell served in a variety of roles at SLU as Professor of Mathematics. He was the first director of SLU’s program in computer science and then chair of the mathematics department. He particularly enjoyed interacting with students in and out of the classroom. His former students include many math teachers. Cantwell has published numerous research articles on geometric topology, many in collaboration with Larry Conlon, and is well known in the field. His interest in the use of technology in teaching led to the development of software for teaching mathematics.
