TEACHING EXPERIENCE

• Since 1976, taught basic engineering, mathematics, optimization, workshop, conflict analysis, and time series analysis courses. Courses were well received and consistently given high ratings by students.During the past three decades, supervised more than 120 undergraduate workshop projects in which students design, test and implement solutions to challenging problems. Co-author of books and software used in the Conflict Analysis and Time Series Modelling courses. Co-founder and Director of student exchange programs with Tottori and Kyoto Universities, as well as the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. Presented short courses, invited seminars, keynote addresses and conference papers in many foreign countries including USA, China, Japan, Israel, France, Germany, Brazil, India, UK, Singapore and Hong Kong.
• Regularly present lectures and slide shows to community groups on topics such as Education and Culture in Japan.

To date, 19 Ph.D. and 40 Master's students have successfully completed their degrees under the supervision or co-supervision of K.W. Hipel. All hold responsible positions in industry, universities or government organizations.

RESEARCH

• Development and application of conflict resolution and time series analysis techniques from a systems design engineering perspective. The main application areas of these decision technologies are water resources management, hydrology, brownfield redevelopment, environmental engineering and sustainable development.Author or co-author of 4 textbooks, 9 edited books, 177 refereed journal papers, as well as many conference, encyclopedia and technical report articles.
• Research findings used in courses and undergraduate workshop projects.

SERVICE

• Previous Chair, Associate Chair and Admissions Officer for Systems Design Engineering.
• Former Chair of Engineering Faculty Council.
• Former Senator and Member of the Board of Governors, University of Waterloo.
• Currently an Associate Editor for 6 international journals.
• Engineering consultant for organizations in USA, Canada, Japan and Brazil.
• Organized two major water resources conferences (1993,1979) at the University of Waterloo and a Royal Society of Canada symposium (2006), and helped to organize and plan sessions at numerous conferences held throughout the world.
