Teaching Styles

Mechanical and Aerospace engineering is an applied field where students constantly apply the fundamental concepts and theory learned in the classroom. My main goal is to encourage independent thinking and analytical reasoning to augment students’ problem solving skills, thus encouraging them to be critical, creative, and do much more than memorizing the courses’ materials. Mechanical & Aerospace engineering also involves a significant amount of teamwork. Several industries where students find employment emphasize the need for a “team player with good interpersonal skills.” For this reason, I strongly advocate design projects involving student groups, which provide students with vital opportunities to effectively work as a team. These projects are useful learning tools where the students assimilate and implement all the concepts they have learned in the classroom to bring the project to fruition, write a report, and make a presentation. The students need mentoring not only in the technical aspects of the project, but also in group interaction and effective teamwork.
