Teaching and Research Philosophy

The educational background of Dr. Mitrasinovic stems from chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering. The fact has a profound impact on his philosophy toward teaching and research. He conceives a complete educational process as a dynamical process, which is in a permanent progress and subject to change. In other words, the process reflects learning needs and ideas of the future shaped by today's students and researchers.

It is imperative that lecture courses and research ideas be presented in a stimulating fashion, encouraging students and researchers to learn as their interest is probed. Dr. Mitrasinovic always tends to involve students and researchers to take an active role in his lectures by asking questions or initiating brief discussions with classmates. At the same time, his intention is to recognize the diversities and expectations of students and researchers at an individual level. In a group environment, possible combinations of all individual creativities represent an additional quality in understanding problems, concepts, and procedures of various natures. In his research laboratory, Dr. Mitrasinovic emphasizes that important questions are raised and answered as the research progresses.

The ultimate goal of his strategy is to motivate students and researchers to acquire the most essential capabilities of observing and evaluating natural phenomena from critical standpoints. Dr. Mitrasinovic strives to share his knowledge and inspire students and researchers to achieve the goal.
