Meet ME Lecturer Austin Krebill
Krebill is not a new face to the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department since he received his BSE degree from our program earlier in his career. He enjoyed his classes and research so much that he decided to stay in ME and obtained his PhD degree in the summer of 2020. He worked with Professor James Buchholz, ME faculty and IIHR affiliate on his research and dissertation. The Engineering College and ME faculty performed an external search for the new lecturer position and Krebill was the best fit. He has a lot of experience with being a teaching assistant for a diverse array of courses and he seems to be a natural lecturer. He comes to the department with a lot of experience and we are eager to see the direction he takes his courses. Krebill’s first semester as a lecturer has been a challenge with COVID-19 where classes are being taught in a hybrid fashion of online and in person. He is blazing the way for designing online labs and lectures for ME:3351 Instrumentation and ME:4080 Experimental Engineering. We wanted to get to know Krebill better, so we asked him a few questions and will share his answers.
