teaches engineering at Fairfield University. He received his PhD in Applied Physics from Yale University and a BS in Physics from Stetson University. His areas of interest include semiconductor nanowires, nanotechnology education, first-year engineering initiatives, and engineering service, outreach, and education.
In this three credit-hour course, an engineering approach to problem solving is taught with an emphasis on teamwork, communication (oral and written), creativity, ingenuity, coding, and computer-aided design tools. The instructional approach used in this course involves freshman engineering students as active participants in the learning process. Project based learning involves implementing projects with hands-on tasks, well-defined outcomes, multiple solutions to a given problem, and linking science and engineering concepts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
