D. L. Evans is the Director of
Arizona State University's Center for Research on Education
in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (CRESMET),
an affiliation of the Colleges of Education; Engineering and
Applied Science; and Liberal Arts and Sciences. Professor
Evans received a BSME degree from the University of
Cincinnati and a Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University
in mechanical engineering. He has been a faculty member in
the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences Department
of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering since 1966, serving
for many years as the departmental Vice Chair and twice as
the Interim Chair. He is the author or co-author of many
papers in the fields of high temperature gas dynamics and
solar energy. For the last 15 years he has been interested
in education-related research and has published two text
books and many papers in the field of engineering education.
He was the founding Director of the Center for Innovation in
Engineering Education (CIEE) in ASU's College of Engineering
and Applied Sciences, and became director of CRESMET when it
was created out of CIEE. His interests, and those of CRESMET,
center on assessment (particularly, outcomes-based
assessment) of education in the sciences, mathematics, and
engineering, and the appropriate use of technology in
support of student learning.
