Learn by Experience

Teaching

I have been lecturing in universities professionally since year 2000. I teach subjects I am passionate about - subjects related to Aerospace Engineering. Coming to 25 years into the profession, I am comfortable to say that teaching is an art, a skill that must be gained through experience, that needs to be sharpened and polished to master it. It is not always easy to make 'learners' understand a concept. It takes a great teacher to make a difficult concept look simple. It is about programming the students minds, hopefully empowering them and maybe allowing them to carry on the knowledge for themselves and those after them. For me teaching is more than just a job. It is a chance to improve the world; to change it, mold it and improve lives. My style of teaching is to let students experience the phenomena. Learning-by-experience has been my signature trade for the past 20 years. Students enjoy the process of learning by discovery. The knowledge stays with them due to the experience they had. Shown in this section (side sub-menu) are some examples of how I put in that extra mile to set up my courses to let students experience Aerospace Engineering. And below are some recognition for those extra miles.
