Teaching Philosophy
I truly believe that in order to be a successful teacher, it is essential to expose students to a diverse and comprehensive discipline that allows them not only to understand, but also to apply their knowledge to real world situations. Therefore, teachers should demonstrate their knowledge of a discipline and depict such knowledge to students. My teaching philosophy is based on the following integrated elements.
- Develop the passion and desire to teach.
- Engage students in an interactive class.
- Utilize advanced technology in classrooms.
- Encourage students to develop their own learning styles.
Finally, I aim to mentor and expand students' interest and knowledge into the tremendous benefits of engineering management and systems engineering. My teaching philosophy encompasses a process that I will strive to improve throughout my academic career at Old Dominion University, and sustain with the guidance and support of my colleagues in the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering. |
