Engineering Education

One of the best parts of my work in water resources and biomechanics is the ability to share my passion and expertise with aspiring engineers. I have taught students in university, college, and middle school.

Fluid Mechanics

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of fluid mechanics including hydrostatic forces, mass, momentum, and energy conservation, and applications into pipe systems, turbomachines, and open channels.

I teach this course as ENGR 3343 at KSU, and I have TA'ed the class as ME 3340 at Georgia Tech.

Statics

This is the first in a two-part course in engineering mechanics. Students learn about forces, equilibrium in two and three dimensions, trusses, friction, centroids and moments of inertia.

I teach this course as ENGR 2214 at KSU.

Probability & Statistics

I teach an introductory course in statistics for engineers, with a focus on data collection and analysis techniques applied to the civil engineering field.

I teach this course as ENGR 3305 - Data Collection & Analysis at KSU

Water Resources Engineering

The course presents the hydrological processes and their relationship to the design of structures for control and management of water resources, rainfall-runoff relationships, and probability and frequency analysis as they relate to surface and groundwater hydrology.

I teach this course as CE 4703 - Engineering Hydrology at KSU and I have TA'ed the class as CEE 350 at UIUC.

Fluid Mechanics Laboratory

This lab reinforces the principles of fluid mechanics as they apply to hydraulic and pneumatic power, and fluid flow. I place strong emphasis in my course on writing professional reports.

I teach this course as ENGR 3345 at KSU.

Geometry

I taught a rigorous course in Geometry, where students learned how to think spatially. The curriculum includes developing proofs and identifying relationships between angles, lines, and curves, as well as introducing trigonometry. Students were challenged with problems from MATHCOUNTS and AMC 10/12.

I taught this course at Art of Problem Solving Academy.

 

Liberal Arts Education

I teach courses related to religion and humanities. As a world religions instructor, I aim to equip students with social, historical, and religious literacy in preparation for their future careers.

Qualifications

  • Adjunct Instructor of World Religions, Gwinnett Technical College
  • MA in Theological Studies, Liberty University
  • Religious Literacy Summer Institute for Educators, Harvard University
  • Field experience through participation in Greek transcription and translation efforts.

World Religions

This is a survey course of the history, practice, and modern relevance of the world’s religious traditions. Students are exposed to an overview of significant religious traditions from around the world, critical analysis of the relationships between religions and artistic traditions, and critical analysis of the influence of religion on culture, politics, and history.

I teach this course as RELG 1101 at Gwinnett Technical College.
