v
I believe that the best educational experiences are relational,
experiential, integral and reflective.
v
I believe that a University education should follow the ideal stated
in the inscription on Ohio
University's Alumni
Gate:
"So enter that daily thou mayest grow in knowledge, wisdom and love.
So depart that daily thou mayest better serve thy
fellowmen, thy country and thy God."
My
Teaching Philosophy [pdf file]
I believe that
“teaching” encompasses not only what goes on inside the classroom
but all things that add to the students’ learning experience, so I
spend more time developing meaningful learning activities and providing
formative feedback than on traditional teacher-centered activities like
lectures and discussions.
I also believe that the following quote from Albert Einstein applies to
education: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not
simpler”.
Engineering Education Research
I am interested in
integrative education, educational outcomes and assessment, and the
development and assessment of professional skills in undergraduate
engineering programs.
Carnegie Scholar Project [Carnegie
website, scroll down to see my project]
In 2005-2006 I was given the opportunity to work with a great group of
scholars on integrative learning.
My individual project (which is ongoing) was to integrate aspects of
"How-to-Be" an engineer with the traditional focus on
"How-to-do" engineering.
The project title was "Integrating Professional Skills with
Engineering Identity: Using Performance Reviews in Capstone Design Courses to
Help Students Value, Understand and Develop Professional Skills".
