B. EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING (60% appointment)
Dr. Morgan’s primary responsibility at Purdue has been teaching undergraduates in both the
Agricultural and Biological Engineering and Food Science Departments. Dr. Morgan's teaching
excellence has been recognized by his students with three departmental “Outstanding Teacher”
Awards (in two different departments). He has been responsible for a total of eight undergraduate
courses in the last ten years. He also has been involved in a study-abroad course to Brazil (2003,
2004) and Brazil/Argentina (2006, 2008) during Maymester. In addition to developing a significant
amount of new and innovative course materials, Dr. Morgan has worked to develop student skills
beyond the classroom by mentoring undergraduate research projects, student club advising, and his
undergraduate student counseling efforts.
Dr. Morgan has successfully obtained external funding to improve the education of undergraduate
and graduate students in the College of Agriculture in four majors, ABE, FPE, ASM, FS, and FMO.
Over the past 20 yrs, he has been a collaborator on 4 USDA Higher Education Challenge grants and
one USDA National Needs Fellowship grant. These projects have included: a) a strong integration of
engineering design into the curriculum; b) the development of experiential laboratory equipment and
learning modules, c) design of a new dual degree curriculum in Biological Engineering, and d)
improved teaching materials in Precision Agriculture.
Dr. Morgan, along with Dr. Ess, developed the first course on Precision Agriculture Technologies in
the U.S. in 1996. In 1997, they developed the first introductory textbook in this new field with “The
Precision Farming Guide for Agriculturists.” This was the first book published in this area and is
still widely utilized with over 20,000 copies sold worldwide (A.3). A second edition and
accompanying instructors guide were published in 2003 (A.3). It was the standard Precision
Agriculture college textbook in the U.S. (required text used by 10 U.S. universities in 2003) and has
been used in at least four other countries (Brazil, Hungary, S. Korea, Ukraine). Dr. Morgan was also
instrumental in a major revision of the text, "Fundamentals of Electricity for Agriculture," 3rd
edition, 2004 with R.J. Gustafson (A.3).
Dr. Morgan has supervised 19 undergraduate research projects (A.5.b) and advised over 30
undergraduate students per year. He also has served as advisor of the ASAE Student Branch (9 yrs),
Past Chairman of the National ASAE Student Club Advisors Committee, advisory board member for
Purdue’s ASEE chapter (1996 – 2000), advisor to Purdue’s annual ¼-scale tractor pull team (4 yrs),
and as the Food Science Undergraduate Club Advisor (4 yrs).

2. Contributions to Course and Curriculum Development
Dr. Morgan served as chair of the FS Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and made
significant contributions to revision of the processing series and curriculum. He has been active
in recent outcomes-based assessment for the College of Agriculture and the FS undergraduate
program by helping lead workshops and developing plans and documents for the Department’s
accreditation by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). As a result of a curriculum review
and student feedback, Dr. Morgan effectively revised and consolidated the three-course food
processing/engineering course series, allowing four credits in the FS curriculum to be used for
other topics (e.g. sensory analysis and regulations) identified as weaknesses by a recent IFT
outcomes-based assessment..
• FS 341, Food Processing I and FS 442, Food Processing II: The focus of both FS 341 and
FS 442 was changed to demonstrate how food engineering principles, previously covered in a
separate course FS 307, impact the processing of foods. Dr. Morgan has added engineering
principles of fluid flow, pumping and pressure drop, mass and energy balances, thermal
properties, and heat transfer principles. Some laboratory exercises now include a virtual
experiment component that allows students to examine more variables affecting a process than
can be achieved during one hands-on laboratory period. He also has tried to make teaching of
engineering concepts and analysis interesting for FS majors without overwhelming the students
with tedious calculations.
Dr. Morgan received a USDA Higher Education Challenge (HEC) grant (2005-08) for
developing virtual experiments to improve the linkage between engineering principles and food
processing. As the lead investigator, he solicited collaboration from colleagues at The Ohio State
University, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and University of California, Davis. The
main objective was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of teaching hands-on laboratories
through the use of virtual experiments, especially for novel processes such as high pressure,
pulsed electric field, ohmic heating, etc.
• FS 446, Food Process Automation: This course was changed from 2 hrs of lecture per week
to 1 hr of lecture and 2 hrs of lab. Dr. Morgan implemented this change to give the students
more hands-on experience with the wide range of state-of-the-art equipment and automation
technology available in the FS pilot plant. Students now do an automation project in this course.
Morgan Page 7 of 35
• FS 400k, Agriculture and Food Processing in Brazil/Argentina: Dr. Morgan developed this
Maymester course to include 3 weeks of study in Brazil (2004) and Brazil/Argentina (2006,2008)
with 1 week of seminars and a final presentation at Purdue. He made linkages with colleagues at
universities and corporations to provide plant tours, seminars, and field trips to study production
and processing of various products (eg. citrus, coffee, cashews, beef, snack foods, and sugar
cane). The course emphasizes cultural awareness, history and geography, technical aspects of
food processing, and comparisons between U.S. and Brazilian/Argentinian agricultural issues.
Prior to 2003, Dr. Morgan served on both the ASM and ABE Curriculum Committees (chair
2001) and helped revise course descriptions and syllabi for several ASM core courses including
ASM 245, 333, 420 and 495 in 1992-94. He also was instrumental in adoption of an ASM
Honors Program and courses including ASM 491-Special Topics for Undergraduates, and ASM
499-Honors Thesis. Other examples of course contributions in ABE include the following:
• ABE 205, Agricultural & Biological Engineering Computations: Dr. Morgan redesigned
approximately 50% of this course to give students practical engineering experience in problem
solving and in the use of computer tools such as spreadsheets and Matlab. As a result of funding
through a USDA HEC grant (1995-97), computer tools for process design calculations were
developed and incorporated into ABE 205 as a first step in the integration of design concepts
throughout the Food Process Engineering curriculum. This course is the first opportunity for
students to apply problem-solving strategies to realistic food and biological engineering-related
situations and has been well received by students (A.8.b).
• ASM 322 (ASM 491S), Technology for Precision Agriculture: Drs. D. R. Ess and Morgan
developed in 1996 this first course on precision agriculture in the world. A complete set of
materials was developed to teach the basic principles governing the newly emerging, commercial
hardware and software that were being used to implement precision farming practices.
Laboratories were developed to provide hands-on experience with both basic electronic
components and complete systems for applying crop chemicals, mapping crop yields, and
monitoring weather and mapping soil properties. In 1997, funding was secured from the John
Deere Foundation to support the development of a book based on their course materials
(A.4.a.1).
• ASM 420, Electric Power and Controls: Dr. Morgan co-authored a new textbook for this
course in 2004 (A.4.a.3). He revised approximately 75% of the course, developing new
laboratory exercises in electric motors, controls, and electrical power system design to emphasize
current applications. New topics included small industrial electrical distribution systems and
automatic controls using programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Experiential learning exercises
were developed to include electric motor testing, electrical hazards, safety, and implementation
of PLCs for discrete control.
Morgan Page 8 of 35
• ABE 460, Sensors and Process Control: Dr. Morgan created a new senior-level course
covering state-of-the-art sensors and computer-based control systems for ABE and Food Process
Engineering (FPE) students. The course focuses on process automation including measurement,
modeling, and controller design and makes extensive use of computer tools to analyze system
dynamics and design control systems. Numerous experiential hands-on learning exercises and
laboratories in this course utilized the pilot plant facilities in the Food Science Department.
3. Preparation of Instructional Materials
For all of his courses, Dr. Morgan promotes experiential learning by utilizing both computerized
instruction/simulation and hands-on practice in the labs. He developed laboratory modules and
innovative apparatus to demonstrate the principles of feedback control and process automation
for FS 446. A simulation laboratory and teaching tutorials also are used to improve the hands-
on learning component of FS 446. The notes from Dr. Morgan’s FS 446 class have been included
as a chapter in a Food Processing Equipment Handbook (A.4.b.4).
More recently, Dr. Morgan has developed a low-cost, high pressure processing system for use in
teaching FS 442. The system includes a high pressure chamber with optical windows to measure
real-time effects of high pressure on bioluminescent bacteria or chemical structures of the food
products.
In 2001, Dr. Morgan was instrumental in revising the textbook Fundamentals of Electricity for
Agriculture, 3rd ed. (A.4.a.3). Dr. Morgan was responsible for revising five chapters, added one
new chapter on programmable logic controllers, and assisted with editing/revising all 18 chapters
in the text. A partial list of universities using the text include: Texas A&M University,
University of Arkansas, The Ohio State University, California Polytechnic State University-San
Luis Obispo, and Purdue University.
When developing ASM 322, the first course in Precision Farming, Dr. Morgan was responsible
for developing 50% of the material including the following topics: global positioning systems
(GPS), variable rate applicators, yield monitoring, and geographic information systems (GIS).
Portions of this material (GPS, Yield Monitoring, and GIS).
Drs. Morgan and Ess expanded their course notes from ASM 322 into a textbook, The Precision
Farming Guide for Agriculturists, published by Deere & Co in 1997. This pioneering text is still
used by students from high school through college as well as by agribusinesses and farmers. This
textbook (in its second printing, 2003) has had widespread use. Over ten U.S. universities were
using the textbook for precision farming courses Also, in addition to universities in Brazil
(University of Sao Paulo, Piracicaba and University of Viscosa) and Hungary (University of
Godollo), a course taught at the Master's level in the Ukraine is based on this text.

5. Activities Contributing to Teaching Effectiveness
a. Non-classroom Teaching Accomplishments
Dr. Morgan has directed students in AGEN(ABE) 590 (Special Problems), ASM 490, and FS
491 projects, undergraduate research projects, and senior design projects to gain research
experience. The 491 and 590 projects involve independent, but supervised, undergraduate study.
Each student participated in weekly consultations with Dr. Morgan. At completion of the
projects, a written and oral report is required (ABE 590 only). These independent, but guided,
projects give students the opportunity to learn outside of the classroom.
Dr. Morgan advised students under the SURF (summer undergraduate research fellow) program
in 2006, 2007, and 2008; and three students working on a project for the Soybean Utilization
contest. Under Dr. Morgan’s advising, the students working on the soybean contest produced a
soy-based replacement for Elmers glue and placed second in the campus-wide competition.

B. SUMMARY OF RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP
Dr. Morgan has established an internationally-recognized research program impacting the safety
and processing of foods by utilizing his background in engineering, electronic sensing, and process
automation. Most recently, Dr. Morgan’s research program involves the development of active
packaging for innovative processing and increasing product shelf-life, and applications of gas
sterilization methods for novel aseptic processing and improved fresh produce safety. Research by
Dr. Morgan in each of these areas demonstrates his approach to combine engineering analyses with
basic concepts of food chemistry and microbiology to develop results towards solving current
industy challenges. For example, his efforts to measure meat quality and detect Listeria in ready-to-
eat meats directly addresses the increasing demands by consumers for higher quality and safer foods.
His work on the development of new methods for immobilizing active compounds (enzymes or
antimicrobials) into packaging films may lead to commercial applications of bioactive packaging for
improved shelf-life and safety of food products. Finally, his recent work on the use of chlorine
dioxide (CD) gas for sanitation and sterilization of aseptic processing equipment and treatment of
fresh produce, including current work to develop a novel aseptic process for ready-to-eat meats and
frankfurters, combines the need for safer food products with novel methods sought by the food
industry to improve efficiency and reduce energy and water usage. Most recently, (2010) Dr.
Morgan worked with Enerfab, Inc (a long-time Purdue collaborator on aseptic bulk storage) to
commercialize CD gas for sterilization of 2M gallon aseptic bulk storage tanks, 6K gallon aseptic
isocontainers, fermentation chambers, and food processing plant equipment. This effort was
recognized by Cincy Magazine and Enerfab was awarded a 2010 Manny Award for Innovation with
the help of Dr. Morgan’s efforts.

4. Evidence of Interdisciplinary Activity
Dr. Morgan has extensive collaborations with faculty in other disciplines. He is (or has been) a
member of four centers on campus [Site-Specific Management Center (SSMC) and Center for
Integrated Food Manufacturing, director (CIFM), Center for Food Safety Engineering, and Center for
Advanced Manufacturing (CAM)], as well as a faculty member of the Laboratory for Agricultural
Remote Sensing (LARS). He has provided engineering expertise for funded research projects in
cooperation with faculty in Animal Sciences (J. Forrest, D. Gerrard, A. Schinckel) and many
colleagues in both Food Science and Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue, Nebraska (C
Calkins, Animal Sciences), University of Illinois (S. Brewer, Food Science and F. McKeith, Animal
Sciences), Iowa State (J. Dickson and J. Sebranek, Animal Sciences) in the areas of food quality or
safety sensing, innovative processing, process modeling and controls. Dr. Morgan has cooperated on
research projects with Purdue faculty in Electrical Engineering (J.Nyenhuis, D. Janes, L. Geddes, J.
Bourland, G. Wodicka, R. Bashir) on meat safety, quality, biomedical engineering, and biosensing.
In cooperative research with the Purdue BioMed Center (now Biomedical Engineering Department),
he developed a tetrapolar impedance probe for measuring quality in pork carcasses early postmortem.
He has cooperated with faculty in Ag. Economics (J. Lowenberg-Deboer, J. Akridge), Agronomy (D.
Mengel, S. Brouder), and the University of Nebraska (V. Adamchuk, D. Marx, and A. Bobermann)
on automated soil sensors (texture, compaction, pH, Nitrate and Potassium) and agro-economic
analysis of high resolution soil mapping. Finally, recent research in cooperation with colleagues in
Food Science include the use of chlorine dioxide gas for control of pathogens in food processing
equipment and fresh produce; and immobilization of antimicrobials and enzymes for bioactive

C. EXTENSION, SERVICE AND UNIVERSITY OUTREACH
Dr. Morgan has been actively involved in extension workshops since joining the Food Science
Department in 2003. He has provided lectures on thermal processing regulation topics for the Better
Process Control School (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007); a HACCP Roundtable for the Poultry Processors
organized by Dr. Linton in 2004; Gatorade Processing Workshops (2002, 2003); PepsiCo Beverage
Workshops (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) and Aseptic Processing Workshops (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008,
2009). Each of these workshops has included either lecture, or lecture and laboratory exercises on
thermal processing, instrumentation, and control systems applied to food processing.
Dr. Morgan currently directs the Center for Integrated Food Manufacturing in the Department of
Food Science. Since becoming the Director in 2003, Dr. Morgan has pursued the development of a
laboratory for the evaluation and certification of equipment to meet the European Hygienic
Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) guidelines. This laboratory is the only laboratory in the U.S.
where food processing equipment can be certified for hygienic design and cleanability based on the
EHEDG guidelines. As a member of the EHEDG Test Methods subgroup, Dr. Morgan serves as a
liaison to 3-A and ASME BPE on hygienic design and standards revisions. Under Dr. Morgan’s
direction, the CIFM obtained ISO 17025 accreditation of the EHEDG testing laboratory and has been
evaluating the cleanability and hygienic design of equipment for food U.S. and international
equipment manufacturers. Funds to develop this hygienic design laboratory were obtained from the
Center for Advanced Manufacturing at Purdue. Although just growing in business, the CIFM has
performed contract work for >10 equipment manufacturers totaling over $100,000 in 2011-2012
(actual sponsors and $ per project not included due to confidentiality agreements).
As an accomplished control system and instrumentation engineer, Dr. Morgan has interacted with
companies and entrepreneurs in Indiana. From 2005-2007, Dr. Morgan was a member of the
Strategic Advisory Group for Endress and Hauser (Greenwood, IN), a major manufacturer of sensors
for the food industry (C.1.c). He has also developed an innovative electrical demand controller for
an Indiana entrepreneur, Purdue Alumni, and pork producer (Dick Ward, Linden, IN), which
resulted in a savings of over 70% in electricity costs for heating pads in hog farrowing operations.
Dr. Morgan also assisted Mr. Ward in development and testing of two additional heating pad
products for veterinary surgery recovery and pets. Mr. Ward’s successful business venture continues
to grow with the help of marketing expertise from the Department of Ag. Economics.
