Daniel M Chen

Biography

Daniel M. Chen received his PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Kansas State University in 1984. He is currently a Professor and teaches a variety of courses in both mechanical engineering and mechanical engineering technology programs. He served as the chairperson of Department of Engineering & Technology from 2001 to 2007, and led the departmental efforts in establishing a number of new undergraduate programs in engineering. He has served as the Director of Engineering Division within the School of Engineering & Technology since 2010. Dr. Chen is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Michigan since 1986, and his research interests include computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE), with a focus on their applications in kinematics, dynamics, and machine design. Two current research topics are (1) constraint-based kinematics and dynamics of machines, and (2) reverse engineered free-form shapes for FEA models.
