Teaching Philosophy

My goal when teaching and mentoring is to help students learn to value lifelong learning. To achieve this goal, my pedagogy focuses on an understanding of the fundamental concepts, applying critical thinking in the subject matter towards engineering problems, and developing the soft skills to communicate with a broad audience. I believe that the best teaching happens in the presence of excited, knowledgeable students. As a result, my teaching uses active learning techniques and encourage students to take ownership in their education.
