Bradley A. Striebig, Ph.D.

Professor of Engineering

James Madison University

Teaching

I have developed a wide variety of engineering courses from freshmen level through graduate level courses. The courses include hands-on experiencetial components, and many courses have includied extensive service-learning components. Here you can see the current and past courses I have taught throughout my career.

Scholarship

I've been the lead author of three engineering textbooks and several chapters in other books. Altogether, I've authored over one hundered publications including books, book chapters, journal articles, and conference proceedings.

Service

Community and organizational service has been an important part of my career. I've working extensively in sub-Saharan Africa, with local environmental groups and of course wiht University service activities, including starting the engineering program at JMU.

About

About Me

Professor Striebig earned his Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Striebig is a founding professor of the engineering program at James Madison University and previously taught engineering at Gonzaga University and the Pennsylvania State University. He has served as editor on major journals in environmental engineering and sustainable development. He has led major, funded, award-winning research activities focused on working with developing communities and natural treatment systems. He has published over 100 technical publications, including several book chapters, numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, and many peer-reviewed conference presentations and proceedings.

Current Areas of Investigation

On-going Work and Projects

Introduction to Engineering

I'm working on K-12 resources to introduce studetns to engineering and first year engaged learning opportunities to encourage diversity in engineering.

Including Nuerodiverse Learners

I'm interested in diversifying engineering oportunities by considering the desing of engineering resources and spaces to make engineering education more inclusive for nuerodiverse learners.

Stream Restoration and Watershed Protection

I'm working with local and regional organizations to develop and implement stream restoration projects and watershed protection plans.

Sustainable Development

I've worked with many small communities in Benin, Kenya and Rwanada on economic development projects including water and sanitation projects for commuities and schools. On-going efforts include working with the Nasaruni School for Maasi Children in Kenya.

Thoughts on Engineering Education, Sustainability and the One World in Which We Live 

OTTOBINE, Va. (WHSV) - Engineering students from James Madison University have been working on restoring a section of Beaver Creek that had been heavily eroded from rain and the creek itself.

Engineering Exchange 2022

The JMU Department of Engineering is pleased to present a glimse of the 2022 xChange, our annual celebration of the joys of engineering. The xChange shares our students’ major engineering work from the past year through presentations, posters, and prototypes – and features our two-year-long capstone projects. This year our showcase will be first-year projects, sophomore design projects, junior/senior capstone projects, honors student projects, and more.
