Teaching Experience
- Engineering Computing Architecture (ENGR-E 110). (2018-) Principles of computer hardware, boolean logic, processor and memory design, and assembly language. This course guides students in building a simulated von Neumann computer architecture, starting with Nand and DFF primitives. Students also write an assembler program to translate assembly language into machine code for this architecture.
- Software Systems Engineering (ENGR-E 111). Programming fundamentals, data structures, control flow in C, emphasizing the programmer’s model of the machine. (2019-2021) Teaches students programming and computer concepts using the C language. Emphasizes the programmer’s model of the machine, especially memory layout and how programming decisions affect performance.
- Engineering Ethics and Professionalism (ENGR-E 299). (2019-) Ethical and professional considerations of the engineering field, with emphasis on software and systems (2019-). Emphasizes the ethical issues facing engineers today, covering topics such as bias in machine learning data and algorithms, self-driving trolley problems, and the intersection of technology and ethics.
- Python for Engineers (ENGR-E 399/599). Introduction to Python concepts such as functions, control flow, data types, file I/O, and selected libraries such as Regular Expressions (re) and Numeric Python (numpy). (2020-)
