Course Description: Laboratory investigation of the operating characteristics and efficiency of chemical engineering equipment, including distillation, absorption, heat exchangers, and three-phase mixing dynamics with mass transfer.
As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I was responsible for operating the Absorption Column, a commonly used industrial process that removes an unwanted gaseous component using a liquid stream. My responsibilities included guiding students in separating carbon dioxide from the air, hosting office hours to help with mathematical simulations of the process, and evaluating student reports.
Course Description: Study of the dynamics and control of chemical processes; mathematical models of simple processes, including feedback control, are derived, analyzed, and simulated.
As an Instructor's Assistant, I hosted weekly office hours to provide support with theoretical calculations and simulations, evaluated personal evaluations of self-graded homework, graded exams, and participated in the final grade assignment.
As an undergraduate student, I worked as a tutor in the Broadening Opportunities through Leadership and Diversity Center (BOLD) Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, whose mission is to provide community and equitable education. As a tutor, I worked with undergraduate engineering students from all disciplines, including those enrolled in general engineering courses such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and programming.
During my time in Engineers Without Borders - Rwanda at the University of Colorado Boulder, we partnered with a neighboring bilingual elementary school. Each week we developed projects for an afterschool program to introduce second-grade students to basic engineering principles through a small lecture on global and historical engineering feats and provided hands-on activities. I helped design a lecture on the rock-cut churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia.
