Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy incorporates the science and practice of engineering through an integrated curriculum that mixes theory with practice. Civil engineering students need to acquire skills in planning, analyzing, designing, constructing, and operating engineered systems. This requires development of creative thinking, theoretical and practical knowledge, problem solving, self-confidence, teamwork, professional ethics and social responsibility. Theoretical knowledge is the science of engineering and permits one to explore the reasonableness of assumptions and to generalize or extrapolate ideas to new situations with greater confidence. This knowledge is obtained from the principles of mathematics, physics, mechanics, dynamics, chemistry, geology and biology and explains the fundamental behavior of engineered systems. However, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient to practice engineering. Applied learning, or engineering judgment, is also needed. A skilled engineer must develop a sense of proportion and reasonableness of his or her design based on precedent and available construction techniques. Thus, a contemporary engineer must be knowledgeable of modern materials, equipment and construction practices to be successful.
