James H. Howard, Ph.D.
Doctor James H. Howard attended and graduated from Aviation Vocational/Technology School 1975-1979. He completed his 4 year Federal Aviation Administration Aircraft Airframes, Powerplant, Avionics and Airframe Maintenance and Technology Program FAA “A/P” No. 3323 Station No. 267 in good standing, holding various leadership positions in FAA approved Aircraft Refurbishment and Component Manufacturing Laboratories. James received a Congressional Nomination for his Leadership potential and skills at Aviation Vocational/Technology School to attended the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis.
While on active duty in the U.S. Navy as a Commissioned Officer, James Howard managed and directed over 50 Engineers, Military Personnel, Government Contractors and Support Personnel in Mechanical, Electrical, Facilities, Structural, Geotechnical Engineering and oversaw contract negotiations, including execution for runways, medical facilities, warehouse, and for aircraft maintenance facility projects. As well, he managed a $3.4 Million Government Contracting and Defense Purchase budget for operations, repairs and support services of Naval Air Base. Lieutenant Howard directed and provided Federal Aviation Administration Maintenance Technology: Powerplants, Airframes and Avionics-Joint Maintenance, Material and Management, providing Acquisition, Data Processing and Logistics Engineering for Navy Ships/Aircraft/Submarine Bases, Navy-Marine Corps Aircraft and Sea-going vessels which includes: USS Gatofish SSN-615 (submarine), USS Okinawa LPH-3 (Helicopter Carrier/VSTOL), USS Bainbridge CGN-25 (ship) while attending/graduating from the United States Naval Academy.
James Howard received his first Masters of Engineering degree in Material Science and Engineering in 1991 at the University of Texas at Austin and mentored under his Professor’s firm, ”The Strategic Materials Research Development Laboratory” at the University of Texas Mechanical Engineering Department. After the death of his professor, he sought to continue in the consultant business as part of his Professor’s legacy. James earned his second Masters Science in Engineering degree in 2008 in Mechanical Engineering at University of Texas at San Antonio.
James Howard has worked as a consultant in the Semiconductor Electronics in Industry for over 10 years for Microelectronic Devices, Printed Circuit Board Modules and Thin Film Sensors. He was employed by NASA Contractors to Johnson Space Center as a Materials Engineer for the building of the International Space Station and as Safety Borad Materials Engineering Specialists for Space Shuttle.
James was also employed by General Electric and United Technologies Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Marine and Land based Gas Turbine Engines. He conducted and supervised metallurgical laboratories. He implemented graphite epoxy composite repair process, chemical surface processes for bonding of repair components, and substantiated multi-phase process for several GE, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls Royce Aircraft, Marine and Land based Gas Turbine Engine Components, including blades, nozzles, vanes, vane sectors, shrouds, shroud supports, outlet guide vane, bringing in volumes of new business from domestic and international airlines.
James Howard wrote over 25 metallurgical General Electric Gas Turbine Engine investigative and repair process substantiation reports and repair process procedure on corrosion, coatings engineering, brazing, activated diffusion healing, welding, heat treatment, electrical discharge machining, surface treatment, chemical cleaning and coating strip processing, over-temperature analysis, metallurgical failure analysis, application and curing of high performance adhesives, and repair of polymer matrix and graphite epoxy composite materials. James engineered the curing of high performance adhesives, and repair of polymer epoxy matrix and graphite composite materials for CFM56, LM2500, CF6 & CF-34 Gas Turbine Engines.
James Howard received his Doctorate in Engineering in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso in 2012 and currently holds a double Master Science in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from UT San Antonio in 2008 and Masters of Science in Materials Science and Engineering from UT Austin in 1991, and a Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences and Engineering from the United States Naval Academy 1984.
In his doctoral work, James is a recipient of Allien and Paul C. Davidson Scholarship and is on the Academic Honor Society, being selected for Alpha Sigma Mu standing in the doctorate program in Materials Science and Engineering at University of Texas at El Paso. His personable and hard working attitude contributed consistently to the congenial and enquiring academic environment that is a major factor in making the UTEP Optics Laboratory a continuing source of productive research.
