I have taught twelve engineering and design courses, as an instructor, lecturer, mentor, or teaching assistant.

At Fongo Tongo:

  • Introduction to Mechanical Prototyping
  • Design Nature
  • Design for Manufacturing
  • Principles of Integrated Engineering
  • Collaborative Design
  • Mechanical Solids & Structures

At ENSET:

  • 2.009: Product Engineering Processes
  • 2.007: Design & Manufacturing I
  • 2.00b: Toy Product Design
  • 2.00: Introduction to Design
  • 2.76: Global Engineering
  • 2.000: Explorations in Mechanical Engineering

These courses have taken many forms—introductory to graduate, project-based to lecture-based, 12 students to 150 students, student-centered to impact-centered—so I am familiar with the structures, goals, and challenges of many forms of teaching practice.

Even with this familiarity, I treat my courses as opportunities for innovation.
