Teaching Experience

 

Courses and Curricula Developed

 

Use of Experiential Learning in Business Analytics and Introduction to Information Systems Courses, 2010-2016.

 

Developed serious games for use in introductory engineering classes, 2009-2013.

 

Designed and implemented a cross-disciplinary Business-Engineering-Technology Minor Program, 1999-2008. 

 

Disseminated the instructional materials developed by LITEE to faculty members at FIE Conference during 1999 and 2000, Sigma Xi Conference during 1999 and 2000, and NEC Conference during 1999, and exhibit booths at ASEE Annual Conference each year starting1999.

 

Helped develop the instructional materials and strategies related to Introduction to Engineering course in the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 1999 to 2013.

 

MECH 2210 – Concepts in Design and Manufacturing:  I have worked with Dr. P.K. Raju in order to develop the contents for this course.  The instructional methodology for this course uses case studies developed as part of our joint work. 

 

ENGR 1110 – Introduction to Engineering: This freshman-level class provides students with “hands-on” experiences that show how the science, math, and information technology concepts relate to engineering practice.  Case studies developed as part of the NSF contract are used in this course.  A textbook co-authored with Dr. Raju is used as the required book in this course.

 

BUSI/ENGR 3520 – Integrating Engineering and Business Theories with Practice: The purpose of this course is to provide students an opportunity to participate in decision-making scenarios involving technical and non-technical issues in companies by working with case studies.

 

Courses in other Universities – Several faculty members around the country (including statistics and Mechanical Engineering departments at Auburn University) use the case studies developed by the Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineering Education (LITEE) team in their classes.  Further information is available at ww.litee.auburn.edu.
