    TEACHING Teaching Philosophy


    As a faculty member, when I come to work I wear at least three hats:
    RESEARCH teacher, researcher, and manager. All three overlap, and it is impossible and
    impractical to separate them. However, of these three, I feel teaching will
    STUDENTS have the biggest impact on society. Therefore I place great emphasis on my
    development as a teacher. My teaching philosophy is based on two main
    EXPERIENCE goals: to introduce the students to engineering design principles and
    techniques, and to develop the skills necessary to effectively apply the
    techniques to any type of engineering problem. In the classroom I present
    VITAE
    theory on design principles and techniques, and I support that theory with
    concrete examples. My homework and project assignments are designed to
    htm version
    enforce the theory developed in the classroom, and provide a state-
    of-the-art learning experience by making use of the latest industry standard
    CLASS INFO computer aided design tools like Synopsys and Cadence. Additionally, my
    homework and project assignments allow students to explore and apply
    EE 160 engineering principles to solve design problems with realistic constraints
    like "time to market."
    CEG 458/658
    To help achieve my goals, I have also developed a set of active teaching
    EE 462/662 guidelines (see below). I use these as a guide for class preparation. I teach
    the "top down" hierarchical design approach. Additionally, the tools used
    for projects are state-of-the-art commercial tools, so the students will have
    INSTRUCTIONAL
    an added bullet to put on their resumes. As an indication of student
    comprehension, I provide the students several opportunities during the
    PUBLICATIONS
    semester to provide direct feedback in the form of class surveys. To
    demonstrate this feedback, I have attached one of two surveys given to the
    US Air Force students in an Advanced Digital Design Class. The first (passed out
    approximately one third of the way through the semester) is designed to
    evaluate the rate of material presentation, level of course material, and my
    teaching methods. The second (passed out about half way through the
    semester) is designed to see if course outcomes are being met and what
    aspects of the course require further explanation.
