In the classroom,
the courtroom,
Dr. Proctor served the State of Florida as Member of the Board of Directors for the Florida Engineers Management Corporation. Dr. Proctor is Past-Vice President of Professional Practice for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and he is currently serving as Commissioner to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology representing the Society of Automotive Engineers. As a professor at the University of Florida, Dr. Proctor taught courses related to machine dynamics and machine interactions. Such concepts are fundamental to crash reconstruction and analysis. Dr. Proctor continues to teach such material to practicing engineers.
The laboratory, or the field
Dr. Proctor is an active member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the American Society of Testing and Materials where he participates in the development of standards related to crash reconstruction and analysis. As an evaluator for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Dr. Proctor evaluates university automotive engineering and technology programs. Dr. Proctor has designed and managed full-scale crash tests related to crash investigations. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Proctor has investigated and performed crash reconstruction on hundreds of crash events for attorneys, insurance companies, motor carriers, and the state of Florida.
