• Tutor - Introduction to Engineering Projects

  • Jul 2019 - Nov 2022

  Introduction to Engineering Projects (IEP) is a core subject for all first year engineering students. Through this subject, they learn professional skills such as engineering writing, working in teams, and applying the design process. As tutor, my role includes:- Content delivery - As this subject does not have lectures, I am responsible for delivering the content through weekly 3-hour tutorials with a class of 30 students- Managing team dynamics - As students work in teams throughout the subject, I regularly check in to ensure the team is working with each other respectfully and effectively, which may require mediating conflicts

• Project Mentor - Introduction to Engineering Projects

  Introduction to Engineering Projects (IEP) incorporates the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Challenge, where students learn about engineering through working on a real-world context scoped by EWB. As a project mentor, I conduct bi-weekly check ins with students to:- Guide students through the design process- Provide feedback on their design solutions as well as other aspects to consider (e.g., cultural acceptance, implementation within community)
