Overview
My responsibilities in the ECE department include teaching, developing laboratory curricula, and conducting outreach. My most recently taught courses include Introduction to Computer Systems (EE 1301), Project-based Learning (CSE 1012), Introductory Circuits (EE 3005/6 and EE2015.) I am also responsible for developing the lab manual, coordinating TAs, and creating innovative educational programs, such as the Peer Assistant Program. Many of which I report in engineering educational research literature.
