Scott Kerlin

Scott Kerlin got his started his professional career at the Mayo Clinic performing database design and UX testing to support internal inventory systems and MICS (Mayo's in-house electronic medical records system). After completing his B.S., Kerlin joined IBM as the build master for the Domino, Quickplace, and Sametime products on the iSeries platform. Upon returning to academia to work on his M.S., Kerlin quickly realized that his industry experience gave him a different way of thinking about coursework and course design. So, upon completion of his M.S. degree, Kerlin joined the faculty at the University of North Dakota with the goal of promoting a deeper connection between the material students study and the impact that material will make in their professional or research careers. To that end, Kerlin has been studying and performing research in Computer Science education to maximize impact and engagement regardless of delivery modality.

His time in academia has seen Kerlin in roles as network administrator, lab manager, and Undergraduate Director (UND) in addition to his primary role as an Instructor. Kerlin has taught courses at multiple universities before joining the OSU faculty (Augsburg University, University of North Dakota, and University of Minnesota). Kerlin also has worked at Michigan Tech as the Senior Security Engineer, an experience he leverages in his networking and security courses at OSU to provide students with a direct connection between the material, academic research, and industry experiences.
