- Developing a Ph.D. Program in Computer Science and Computer Engineering
at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University
of Bridgeport.
- Participating in restructuring and developing the new curriculum
and requirements for the Masters of Science program in Computer Science
and Computer Engineering, at the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering, University of Bridgeport, October 1995 present.
- Developing a concentration track (and class sequence) in Robotics
and Automation for the Masters of Science program in Computer Science
and Computer Engineering, at the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering, University of Bridgeport, October 1995 present.
- Initiating the efforts to establish an internet-based M.S. program
in Computer Science and Engineering as a new distance learning program
at the University of Bridgeport.
- Developing Web-based control of robotic manipulators at the University
of Bridgeport as a tool for distance learning (regular degree and
certificate programs) and continuing education classes to be offered.
The tele-operated robot global control allows the introduction of
laboratory-based classes like control, robotics, and automation into
a distance learning curriculum.
- Initiating the efforts to create the new interdisciplinary laboratory
of ``Robotics, Intelligent Sensing, and Control (RISC)'', at the Department
of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bridgeport, September
1995 present.
- Starting up development activities for a number of projects with
commercial potential, with the eventual goal of marketing the product
or service. The projects include controller/simulator/monitor software
package and prototyping systems for manipulators, the reverse engineering
and inspection center, the graphical objects software package, a tire-changing
robotic manipulator, and reverse engineering applications in dentistry.
- Initiating and starting up continuing technical education classes
at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University
of Bridgeport, for industry professionals. Classes included: ``Electronic
Printing and Postscript'', ``Digital System Design Using VHDL'', ``JAVA
Programming'', ``Object Oriented Programming Using C++ and Visual
C++'', ``Networks Basics'', and ``Factory Automation and Robotics
in Industrial Applications''.
- Participating in defining a ``vision statement'' for the goals
and plans of Computer Science and Computer Engineering at the University
of Bridgeport in the next few years (September, October 1995).
- Established a technical report series for the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering, University of Bridgeport.
- Established electronic Web sites for technical reports and research
activities at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering,
University of Bridgeport.

for the University of Bridgeport.
- Starting up a joint project with the Polytechnic University (New
York), Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, on Robotics
and Automation in Support of Construction Engineering Research (Basic
and Applied).
- Exploring funding possibilities with the Moore Tool Company, Bridgeport,
CT.
- Exploring cooperation, donations, and funding possibilities with
Alpha Products, Fairfield, CT.
- Exploring Research and development possibilities with MediaMaxx,
Inc., Stamford, CT, to produce a robotic camera.
