Dr. Brian J. McCartin, Professor of Applied Mathematics, is the recipient of the Kettering University Outstanding Teaching Award for the year 2001. Dr. McCartin graduated with Highest Distinction from the University of Rhode Island and went on to complete his Ph.D. at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University. He also holds a Bachelor of Music (Summa Cum Laude) from the Hartt School of Music of the University of Hartford.

Prior to joining the Kettering Faculty eight years ago, Dr. McCartin was Head of Computational Electromagnetics for United Technologies Corporation and Chairperson of Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Hartford, Connecticut campus. Dr. McCartin has also taught at University of Bridgeport, University of Connecticut, Central Connecticut State University, University of Hartford, and University of Rhode Island.

In his eight years at Kettering, Dr. McCartin has founded and acted as Faculty Sponsor to Kappa Mu Epsilon National Mathematics Honor Society's Michigan Epsilon Chapter and he presently serves as Faculty Academic Advisor to Delta Tau Delta's Epsilon Iota B Chapter. He supervised the Harley Anderson Award winning thesis of Michael Fisackerly in 1999 and received Kettering's Outstanding Researcher Award in 2000.

When informed of this special recognition by his students, Prof. McCartin responded:

"It is a distinct honor to be selected for this award by my present and former students. I have found a home here at Kettering because my own interest in applying mathematics to engineering problem solving naturally dovetails with the desire of these students to become future engineering leaders. I am humbled by the privilege of helping to sculpt the next generation of technological elite. This award is especially meaningful to me because my Mother was an outstanding teacher and to follow in her formidable footsteps sends a tingle down my spine. As always, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my lovely wife Barbara for her indispensable support for all of my endeavors."

Congratulations !
