Teaching is built around hands-on work, curiosity, and the belief that students learn engineering most deeply when they design, test, question, and reflect. Across courses, workshops, and mentoring, the goal is to help students grow into confident engineers who can think clearly, create value, and keep learning.
This teaching philosophy centers curiosity, agency, hands-on exploration, and meaningful connections between engineering ideas and the people they serve.
My goal is to make a tangible impact on students by helping them find their passion, build confidence, and speak intelligently about a subject without hesitation.
Students use their unique talents through doing, testing, writing, and reflecting.
Learning moves toward curiosity, agency, and a personal record of growth.
Students should leave able to explain ideas clearly, not just repeat equations.
A habit of asking better questions and pursuing what is needed to answer them well.
Link equations, concepts, experience, and personal understanding into a coherent whole.
Use knowledge in meaningful ways for current work, future work, and ongoing learning.
Teach for confidence. Design for curiosity. Assess for reflection. Create learning that lasts.
Two audiences, one belief: thoughtful tools should make the work clearer, not flashier.
