Research Interests:
(1) Developing and publishing an online college-level textbook on industrial design, titled Industrial Design in the Age of Digital Revolution and Globalization, as a collection of revised research papers completed during my graduate studies as a Master of Arts degree candidate in Industrial Technical Studies at California State University Los Angeles, as a National Center for Engineering and Technology Education Doctoral Fellow at the University of Georgia College of Education, and as a substantial expansion of my undergraduate thesis completed at California State University Northridge.
(2) Publishing more tips on engineering graphics and CADD skills (hosted on the Engineering Course Materials webpage).
(3) Continue research on K12 age-possible engineering tops from various subjects of engineering (with a focus on mechanical engineering) and publish the outcomes on the SCHOLAR STEAM K12 + website (URL: http://scholarsteamk12plus.weebly.com/).
Development Plan:
(1) Establish a product design team with mechanical, electronics, material engineers and marketing professionals, and recruit investors to complete the development of a few household and portable outdoor appliances, including (a) a multi-functional food processing system (https://suniseaproducts.weebly.com/multi-functional-food-processor.html, Figure 1), (b) a multi-functional food-cooking system (https://suniseaproducts.weebly.com/multi-functional-food-cooking-system.html, Figure 2), and (c) a folding outdoor solar cooker (https://suniseaproducts.weebly.com/portable-solar-cooker.html, Figure 3); as well as a folding solar-powered tricycle.
(2) Design more real world consumer products for clients and for educational purposes, to be hosted in the New Product Design Projects hosting page. As much as possible, these products will be "green" or ecologically friendly, multi-functional, upgradeable, using principles of ethical design and appropriate technology.
(3) Develop more Product Design and Engineering Challenge Projects for senior-year students to participate; and publish the best ones online in the Students' Works and Submitted Projects hosting pages.
