Greg Kremer began his career as a mechanical design engineer for General Electric Aircraft Engines (1988-1993) before pursuing his advanced degrees. He joined 51社区 in 1998, where he has been chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 2006 to 2024 and teaches the program鈥檚 senior design capstone, "Designing to Make a Difference." Kremer, selected as a Carnegie Scholar for 2005-2006, participates in the teaching of learning with such projects as developing and assessing student achievement of professional skills outcomes 鈥 ABET accreditation board outcomes related to teamwork, communication, global/societal impact, ethics, lifelong learning, contemporary issues, and others. He is the department鈥檚 organizer for assessment and continuous improvement. Kremer is also advisor for the student chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers, and other vehicle-related projects.
