After receiving both his MS and Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Jeff Froyd stayed at his alma mater as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering for two years before moving to The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, where he spent twenty years in the Department of Electrical Engineering.  During that time, he took a one year sabbatical to work in the industry as a Senior Systems Engineer for Applied Computing Devices.  He also spent time at Texas A&M University as a Visiting Professor.  Since January of 2001, Dr. Froyd has been at A&M on a permanent basis, serving as the Project Director of the Foundation Coalition and as the Director of Academic Development in the Dwight Look College of Engineering.  His main contributions to the Foundation Coalition have been in the areas of curriculum integration, managing change, technology-enabled integration, and learning communities.  Dr. Froyd has received awards for both teaching and research and has been awarded several grants and contracts.
