Dr. James A. Newell is a professor of engineering at Rowan University. He received his PhD in engineering concentrating in polymers from Clemson in 1994. In 1997, he was named as the Dow Outstanding New Faculty Member by the North Midwest section of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). In 2001, he received the Ray Fahien Award from ASEE for contributions to Chemical Engineering education. Along with Kevin Dahm, he also received the 2001 Professional Interest Council Group III (PIC-III) Best Paper Award at the 2001 ASEE conference in Albuquerque.
