Teaching experience

Instructor

As an Instructional Teaching Assistant, I was responsible for teaching the course: TAM 251 — Introductory Solid Mechanics, during the Summer 2012 term. My tasks included course design and content management for the sophomore level class, lecturing, discussions, homework/exam setting, evaluation and grading.

Teaching Assistantships

I have further relevant experience as a Teaching Assistant in the following theory-cum-laboratory classes:

ME 598 Advanced MEMS/NEMS (Spring '11)
ME 487 Theory, Fabrication and Characterization of MEMS (Fall '12, Spring '09, Spring '10)
IE 310 Operations Research (Fall '14)
TAM 335 Introductory Fluid Mechanics (Fall '07, Spring '08, Fall '11)
ME 310 Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics (Spring '12)
TAM 251 Introductory Solid Mechanics (Spring '15)

Responsibilities included laboratory instruction and demonstration, discussion groups, some lectures, assisting with course material during office hours, homework/exam setting and grading.

Graduate Coursework
