I have taught a range of engineering courses at Fresno State, spanning entry-level to advanced topics. My primary teaching focus is on engineering mechanics and in the area of structural engineering. Additionally, I have instructed introductory engineering courses designed specifically for first-year civil engineering students.
The primary goal of this course is to prepare students for success in future civil engineering courses and in their careers by teaching them proper techniques for communicating in the civil engineering profession and providing a foundation of computational concepts that will equip students to be effective problem solvers.
The goals of this course include: Providing and presenting to students the principles, laws, and idealizations of mechanics, and developing students’ ability to systematically perform, analysis and solve numerical and engineering statics problems.
The goal of CE 121 is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of mechanics as applied to materials. Students will analyze stresses, strains, and deformations in structural and machine components under various loading conditions, including axial, torsional, bending, and combined loads. This foundational knowledge prepares students for advanced coursework in structural analysis and machine design.
The goal of CE 137 is to prepare students with the knowledge and skills to analyze and design structures subjected to seismic loads, emphasizing safety, performance, and compliance with the latest earthquake engineering standards (ASCE 7-22). This course also provides essential preparation for the California seismic license exam, allowing future engineers with the expertise required to meet professional standards in seismic design and analysis.
