Collier, a Dartmouth graduate, has been a member of the faculty since 1979. He transformed “Introduction to Engineering” (ENGS 21) into Thayer School’s signature undergraduate project-based course and teaches several additional courses in design methodology, machine design, and biomaterials.
“In his twenty-five years of service, he has touched the lives of countless students, encouraging the risk-taking and problem-solving skills that will serve them for a lifetime of learning,” says Thayer School Dean Joseph Helble.
