Arkansas State University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science this week named Yeonsang Hwang, associate professor of civil engineering, as associate dean of the college, and Jason Stewart, instructor in civil engineering and program director, as director of accreditation.
College Dean Abhijit Bhattacharyya announced the appointments.
“The college is very committed to a great student experience and student success as well as accreditation of our undergraduate programs,” Bhattacharyya said. “Especially, a commitment to accreditation allows us to continually improve program delivery based on outside input. These faculty members are very well-prepared to help us meet these goals, and I look forward to seeing their progress.”
Both positions take effect July 1, the beginning of the new academic year.
Hwang joined the engineering faculty in 2009 and served as associate dean of engineering on an interim basis since 2018. As associate dean, he has responsibility for oversight of technical services and advising services within the college, among other duties.
As director of accreditation, Stewart will provide leadership on the college’s efforts toward continued ABET accreditation of the civil, electrical and mechanical engineering programs, along with other undergraduate programs that plan to seek accreditation. Stewart joined the faculty in 1998.
