Experience Summary
As an individual involved in advanced development activities at Eastman Kodak, I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge of science into product development and I also had the opportunity to train other individuals in the workings of a new product as that product became commercialized and a large staff of engineers and technicians were needed for the product's manufacture.
These experiences gave me extensive experience working with people of diverse backgrounds and much experience developing technical documentation. I suggesfully bridged language barriers several times during these activities.
I am an electrical engineer with a strong background in physics, computer science, and discrete mathematics. I previously have tutored students in college physics in areas of mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. I have have applied the principles of physics to many engineering problems and I feel qualified to help a student understand how to approach a real-world problem. Additionally, I have served as a project sponsor and advisor to software engineering students at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Teaching Style
I firmly believe teaching requires structure. In that regard, the learning process requires a sequences of steps. Firstly, the student must understand the problem to be solved or the skill to be acquired. Secondly, examples are required to show how to approach and solve a prolem. Lastly, overarching concepts can be introduced to unitfy that which is new with that which is already understood. This approach has succesfully trained and kept the interest of all individuals that I have mentored.
