To be a successful and confident professional requires skills of information processing, problem solving, and interpersonal relationships; I firmly believe that college offers the best opportunity to develop these abilities. My main objective as an engineering educator is to provide students with these necessary skills so they may carry out complex engineering tasks. My strategy to achieve these objectives is as follows:
1. Develop and consolidate engineering concepts by providing opportunities to apply the knowledge on a range of tasks
2. Incorporate the basic elements of a cognitive apprenticeship (modeling, scaffolding, and fading) into in-class activities
My academic background and teaching experience have prepared me to deliver a broad set of courses in the areas of MEMS, system dynamics, thermofluids, combustion engines, and introductory courses in engineering.
