Dr. Subrata Sengupta is the dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. He is a mechanical engineer who was elected fellow of ASME in 1987. He was awarded the Governor's Award for Outstanding Contributions to Science and Technology, Florida, in 1990. His research interests are in the fluid thermal sciences. His work in numerical modeling of environmental flows was awarded the certificate of merit by NASA in 1981. He has authored or co-authored and edited 150 publications. His research has been supported by 30 grants by agencies such as NSF, NASA, DOE, EPA, NOAA, etc. His current research interests are in computational fluid dynamics of two-stroke engines and phase change heat transfer in microcapsules. He holds a patent on microencapsulated phase change material slurry heat sinks. He started the Henry W. Patton Center for Engineering Education and Practice at the University of Michigan-Dearborn to develop a clinical model of engineering education that integrates practice, teaching, and research to enhance design and manufacturing education. Over the last three years, he has been actively involved in enhancing K-12 education with involvement in the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program (DAPCEP) and partnerships with five local high schools.
