CLIVE L. DYM is Fletcher Jones Professor of Engineering Design and Director of the Center for Design Education at Harvey Mudd College. His primary interests are in engineering design and structural mechanics. After receiving the PhD from Stanford University, Dr. Dym held appointments at the University at Buffalo; the Institute for Defense Analyses; Carnegie Mellon University; Bolt, Beranek and Newman; and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He was also head of his department at UMass (1977–85) and chair of his department at Harvey Mudd (1999–2002). Dr. Dym has held visiting appointments at the TECHNION-Israel Institute of Technology, the Institute for Sound and Vibration Research at Southampton, Stanford, Xerox PARC, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern and USC. He has authored or coauthored some 85 refereed journal articles, was Founding Editor of the journal Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis, and Manufacturing, and has served on the editorial boards of several other journals, including the ASME’s Journal of Mechanical Design.

Dr. Dym is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Society for Engineering Education. Dr. Dym’s awards include the following:

· Walter L. Huber Research Prize (ASCE, 1980),

· Western Electric Fund Award (ASEE, 1983),

· Boeing Outstanding Educator Award (The Boeing Compnay, first runner-up, 2001),

· Fred Merryfield Design Award (ASEE, 2002),

· Joel and Ruth Spira Outstanding Design Educator Award (ASME, 2004), and

· Archie Higdon Distinguished Educator Award (Mechanics Division, ASEE, 2006).
