Nathan W. Hartman

Nathan W. Hartman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Graphics Technology. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science from Purdue University and his doctorate from North Carolina State University. Dr. Hartman’s primary teaching responsibility is undergraduate instruction in engineering graphics and graduate instruction in the foundations and philosophies of graphic science.

Prior to coming to Purdue, Dr. Hartman held several positions in industry, including production of engineering design graphics and corporate training in the use of constraint-based 3D CAD tools. He has presented and authored papers in journals on engineering graphics curriculum development and implementation, 3D modeling techniques and strategies, assessment strategies for student evaluation, employer preferences for graduating students, and the development of expertise in the use of constraint-based CAD tools.
