Michele H. Miller

Michele Helene Miller is an American mechanical engineer, and a professor of mechanical engineering and associate dean of engineering at Campbell University, a private Christian university in North Carolina. Her research interests include precision machining and micro-electromechanical systems; she has also published in engineering education and is active in engineering accreditation as an evaluator for ABET.[1]

Education and career

Miller's father worked as a metallurgist for General Motors; her mother was a schoolteacher.[2] She grew up in Centerville, Ohio, and graduated from Centerville High School.[3] Next, she majored in mechanical engineering at Duke University, graduating in 1986, and began working in industry as a manufacturing engineer at General Motors.[1]

Returning to academia for graduate study in mechanical engineering at North Carolina State University, she received a master's degree in 1991 and completed her Ph.D. in 1994.[1] Her doctoral dissertation, A model for the grinding of brittle materials, was supervised by Thomas A. Dow.[3]

She was a faculty member at Michigan Technological University before moving to her present position at Campbell University in 2017.[1]

Recognition

The North Carolina State University Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering named Miller to its alumni hall of fame in 2017.[4]

Miller was elected as an ASME Fellow in 2018.[5] In 2020, Engineering Unleashed, an academic community focused on engineering education, named her as an Engineering Unleashed Fellow.[6]
