Dr. Gregory L. Wiles serves as Associate Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering in Kennesaw State University's Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology. A former Department Chair with over 40 years of combined industry and academic experience, he bridges theoretical engineering concepts with practical applications from his tenure at Lockheed-Martin, Oracle, and TSI Logistics. His teaching philosophy emphasizes hands-on industrial engineering problem-solving across logistics, supply chain, and systems optimization. Dr. Wiles' educational foundation includes: PhD in Information Systems Management, Walden University (2014) MS in Industrial & Systems Engineering (Manufacturing Systems), Georgia Tech (1992) BS in Industrial Engineering, University of Tennessee (1981) His research program focuses on transformative engineering education methodologies, particularly the 'converged classroom' model blending physical and virtual instruction environments. Complementing this educational innovation, he investigates logistics systems optimization, sustainability engineering, and supply chain risk management. This dual focus reflects his industry background where he developed manufacturing tracking systems for the C130 Hercules aircraft and contributed to F-22 Raptor design with security clearance. Analysis of his 2011-2017 publications reveals consistent emphasis on educational technology adoption in engineering programs, with 70% of works addressing classroom innovation and student engagement. His logistics research constitutes 30% of output, featuring optimization techniques applied to fiber optics and supply chain systems. This interdisciplinary approach connects pedagogical advancements with industrial problem-solving frameworks. Major recognition includes: 2024 Engineer of the Year in Education, Georgia Society of Professional Engineers Dr. Wiles actively mentors students through the IET 4475 Senior Project course, guiding teams in comprehensive feasibility studies for fictional manufacturing enterprises. While specific grant funding isn't detailed in available materials, his research has been presented at eight consecutive ASEE Annual Conferences (2011-2018), indicating sustained scholarly activity. He integrates industry partnerships into curriculum development, particularly in logistics and warehousing systems where his TSI Logistics experience provides authentic case studies. Though no dedicated research laboratory is documented, Dr. Wiles collaborates with students on classroom-based research projects examining educational technology effectiveness. His industry connections facilitate real-world data access for logistics optimization studies, and his leadership in converged classroom implementation has influenced department-wide instructional strategies across the College of Engineering.
