Teaching Philosophy
Engineering education should build people, not just skills
My courses span introductory to advanced levels, from 12 students in a design lab to 150 in a university
amphitheatre, from lecture-based to fully project-driven. I adapt to what each context demands — but my
approach stays constant: make it practical, make it relevant, make it build confidence.
At Fongo Tongo, I redesigned the maths and IT curriculum around problem-solving rather than memorisation —
and watched pass rates improve by 73%. At ENSET, I supervised design projects that required students to
apply CAD and manufacturability thinking to real constraints. At the SolidWorks User Group, I connect
working engineers to certification pathways and industry best practices.
The best outcome of any lesson isn't a grade — it's a student who can walk into an engineering challenge
and know where to start.
