Thomas Angeloff

Engineering & Technology Department

B.S., Kent State University; M.A., M.S. , University of Akron

Mr. Angeloff has taught at CCSF for the past twenty years.

His educational philosophy is to be as prepared and motivated for his class as possible. This helps him impart the information that is necessary for the student to successfully complete the course. However, this is only fifty percent of the learning process. The other fifty percent is the student's motivational level to do the best that he or she can in the academic environment.

B.A., California Polytechnic State University; M.A., San Francisco State University

Mr. Common has been teaching at CCSF for the past thirty years. He is the past President of the California Drafting Technology Consortium, the American Society of Engineering Educators and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.

He enjoys learning and feels that "if you stop learning, you stop living". Mr. Common thinks that one can learn and have fun at the same time. He likes to show his students new topics in technology, using software or on the Internet. He loves his job and wants to help his students get the skills for a job that they will love.

When not busy teaching, Mr. Common enjoys spending time with his family. He loves to travel and meet people, as well as playing tennis, golf, going sailing and snow skiing. He also follows Formula One auto racing and the auto industry in general through the Internet and periodicals.

Snow skiing, sailing, tennis and travel.

Wendy S Kaufmyn

Engineering & Technology Department

B.S.M.E, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; M.S.M.E, University of California, Berkeley

Ms. Kaufmyn has been teaching at CCSF since 1983.

She believes that engineering is fun, however, it is also hard work. It is the most difficult undergraduate major and that is why it is so satisfying.

She tries to explain the material as clearly as possible during the class lectures and encourages students to ask questions. Ms. Kaufmyn puts a lot of effort into preparing for her lectures and, in turn, expects students to work hard by reading the material several times, contemplating and pondering it, showing up for each scheduled class and doing all the assigned homework. If a student does this, she or he will be assured of learning a lot and passing the course with a good grade.

Don't worry 'bout your (pe)degree, I certainly don't worry 'bout mine...It's just a form of alphabet soup.
That said - you MUST Get one - it is paramount to your economic health!

Prof. Kimball started teaching at CCSF since 1999

...and says the Credo of the millennium is:
Learn more by doing
Do more by learning
Demonstrate to Teach
Teach by example

I do all this and more, with varying degrees of competence:
Low-budget endurance car racing: www.24hoursoflemons.com Team "ing with bad ideas"
Autocross with Reno SCCA - driving a modified 1965 Mini Cooper
R/C sailplanes and gliders - AMA member since forever - I favor sailplanes and gliders
At one time a proud member of Rendezvous Charters as Senior Deckhand - mostly retired
Scuba Diving - Rescue Diver/Dive Master Candidate (PADI) - I dive once in a while
Guru of Motorcycle Seat upholstery - working but in reclusion


This is my Pub'd and genuinely professional work:
Seven Enterprises parts catalog, 1984
Beyond that I've got a few jabs in with various racing communities where I boast automotive tech knowledge.
