Gary R. Bertoline is Professor and Department Head of Computer Graphics Technology at Purdue University. He earned his B.S. degree in Industrial Technology at Northern Michigan University in 1974, M.Ed. in Industrial Technology at Miami University in 1979, and Ph.D. at The Ohio State University in Industrial Technology in 1987. His graduate work focused on the integration of CAD into engineering graphics and visualization. He has 25 years experience teaching graphics at all levels from elementary school to senior citizens. Prof. Bertoline taught junior high and high school graphics at St. Henry High School, St. Henry, Ohio; drafting/design technology at Wright State University, Lake Campus, Celina, Ohio; and engineering graphics at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.

Prof. Bertoline has authored numerous publications, authored or co-authored 10 textbooks and workbooks, and made over 50 presentations throughout the world. He has won the Frank Oppenheimer Award three times for best paper at the Engineering Design Graphics Division Mid-year Meeting. He has developed many graphics courses, including CAD, solid modeling, and multimedia, and has integrated many modern topics into traditional engineering graphics courses, such as modeling, animation, and visualization. Prof. Bertoline has conducted research in cognitive visualization and was the co-author for a curriculum study in engineering graphics funded by SIGGRAPH. He is on the editorial board for the Journal for Geometry and Graphics and is the McGraw-Hill Graphics Series Editor. He was the recipient of the Orthogonal Medal for outstanding contributions to the advancement of Graphic Science by North Carolina State University in 1992, and the 1995 inaugural recipient of the Steve M. Slaby International Award for Outstanding Contributions in Graphics Education.

Eric N. Wiebe, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Graphic Communications Program at North Carolina State University. He earned his B.A. degree in Chemistry from Duke University in 1982, an M.A. in Industrial Design in 1987, and a Ph.D. in Psychology (Ergonomics) in 1996 at North Carolina State University. Before going to graduate school, Professor Wiebe worked as a chemist and in the A/E/C industry. His graduate work in industrial design focused on the role of computer graphics and CAD in the design process. After completing his master's, Professor Wiebe helped develop a photorealistic rendering and modeling system for architectural and design professionals and worked as a private consultant.

Since coming to teach at North Carolina State, Dr. Wiebe has developed and taught a 3-D solid modeling course for eleven years. In addition, he coordinated the introduction of CAD into the introductory engineering graphics course. Professor Wiebe has also developed a course on scientific visualization, which looks at the graphic representation of technical and scientific data. Since coming to North Carolina State, he has continued to work as a consultant to industry and has been active at the university level on the integration of computing in Academics. He has authored numerous publications and instructional materials. In addition to being on the editorial review board of the Engineering Design Graphics Journal, he is a member of the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Design Drafting Association, and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
