Dan Linehan is currently a lecturer at UTK and a consultant in the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE). He has worked for over 30 years in private industry as an Engineering Manager, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a Program Manager, and within the NSE primarily at Y-12 in Oak Ridge, TN and Pantex in Amarillo, TX in a variety of technical and management roles including as Director of weapons Life Extension Programs and as Senior Director responsible for a $3B annual mission baseline.
Dan has taken this extensive experience and built real-life examples into his lectures to provide students with work-related applications related to requirements management, engineering economy, and systems dynamics modeling. As a result, students can more readily relate to and apply theory learned in the classroom to their work environments, providing benefits back to their employer and the broader community.
