"Nic contributed greatly to a number of digital learning initiatives in the course. First, he created a revised set of tutorial videos to help students learn the new microcontroller used in the course. He also revised the PCB design tutorials to utilize the new department-standard Altium design suite. Nic pioneered the use of in-person and prerecorded remote lab checkoff in the Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 quarters, initially as a means of giving students more flexibility in scheduling their project work. This experience proved invaluable for the Spring 2020 quarter when the campus transitioned to remote instruction. Nic is currently developing parallel in-person and remote instruction curricula for EEC 136AB for the next academic year. His innovative ideas and dedication to creating new forms of instruction have helped students tremendously in these challenging times..."
