Dr. Kedward joined the Mechanical and Environmental
Engineering Department as a professor of Solid Mechanics,
Materials, and Structures, in 1990. He previously held the
position of Vice-President for Integrated Product Development
at McDonnell Douglas Technologies, Inc., in San Diego. Over the
past 25 years, Dr. Kedward has built an international reputation
in the field of advanced composites, working with Rolls-Royce (U.K.), General
Dynamics Convair Division, Materials Science Corporation, Alcoa, and since
1982, for McDonnell Douglas. His experience includes the application of
composites to aircraft structures; aircraft engine components, automotive
products, submersibles, spacecraft and space shuttle systems, and human hip
prostheses. A long time advocate of integrated engineering and manufacturing
approaches (referred to as "concurrent engineering"), Dr. Kedward has taken a
leadership position here in the department's manufacturing and design area.
