Mr. Alberts has been associated with Indiana State University in both academic and teaching capacities since he returned to college in 2003 to continue his education after a 15 year stint working in various engineering related roles in the professional world.  He was a Summa Cum Laude graduate of our Mechanical Technology program in 2005, and is scheduled to complete his Masters Degree in Industrial Technology in May of 2007.  His current thesis research is associated to the analysis/evaluation of mechanical performance quality variance of internally threaded geometry related to extended tool wear in low carbon steel through statistical linear correlation.

In his professional endeavors, Todd has dealt with many facets of the electro-mechanical engineering world, and has extensive project management experience.  These endeavors include machinery research and development, design of computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tools, proprietary manufacturing equipment for the plastics industry, and many specialized designs for customer specific applications across many fields.  He has knowledge in computer aided design, engineering ergonomics, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (ANSI Y15.4), design for manufacture (DFM), cost reduction, and reliability improvement.

Mr. Alberts has served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Adjunct Faculty member in the Industrial & Mechanical Technology Department, and been involved in assisting several student organizations in their efforts.  He has worked with the NAIT Student Chapter in the design and development of a robot for recent national competitions.  As well, he has also worked with the Society of Manufacturing Engineers in the pursuit of grant writing for a proposed project of creating science and technology experiential exhibits for the Terre Haute Children’s Museum.
