Mark Kyle

My name is Mark Kyle.  I received my BSIET in 1995, and my MSQA in 1998, both from SPSU.  I started teaching for SPSU in Fall, 1998 as a part-time faculty member.  I also taught full-time from Fall 2015-Summer 2017 in addition to working a "regular" full-time job.  I continued with the SPSU School of Engineering as a department within Kennesaw State University after the consolidation of SPSU into KSU in the Fall of 2015. 

I have taught most of the classes in the IET curriculum, however, my primary specialty and interests are in Quality/Operations Management and problem solving using various statistical techniques.  I also enjoy teaching the business related courses such Engineering Economy and Cost Accounting.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching at Kennesaw State University. We have some very talented students who do very well in the competitive marketplace and global economy. Teaching provides me with opportunity to share real-world experiences in an academic environment. I also enjoy seeing students succeed while here and as they work in their careers.
