Rhino- Are you a Rose Grad? Steinhauser wasn't there when I went through in the late 90's, but his reputation was still going strong. I did get to enjoy "Lazy Wayne" for a few thermal design classes, and had "Bob Dillan" for Thermo 1.
R-HIT Class of 1987, BSME, sir.
Robert Steinhauser is a great man and was one of the best educators of engineers I've ever met. I had him for thermo I, power plants, and at least part of mechanical measurements. I believe he resides in California now (near where he did his MS at Stanford). I miss him. In my early years after I graduated, I would visit campus occasionally and he ALWAYS made time to visit with me, sometimes hours at a time. He listened to what I had to say and always had good advice. I treasure the time I got to spend with him both in the classroom and during those visits during the years following.
I put Wayne Sanders in the same category. He was my academic advisor as well as the instructor in several of my classes. I had him for my first fluids class, advanced thermo, and maybe something else I can't remember. I didn't have as much contact with him after graduation, but he's still at R-HIT and the last time I was there during business hours I got to visit with him. If we ever meet in person, remind me to tell you my story about the day he came to adv. thermo a little late.
