Teaching Vision

I believe as an engineer and a teacher it is my responsibility to challenge and support my students, in pursuit of three learning goals: (1) confront misconceptions about crucial engineering ideas; (2) learn basic mechanical engineering concepts; (3) cultivate an interest in research and an understanding of how we do research. I have two benchmarks for determining that my objectives for students learning are met, that students are able to convey engineering concepts in everyday language; and that students are able to use basic knowledge and skills as building blocks to tackle more complex problems.
