 STATEMENT OF TEACHING INTEREST

The opportunities to teach and work with students and to develop new educational
materials and techniques as well as performing high quality research are my primary
reasons for choosing an academic career. My academic background, teaching
experience, research experience and career as a assistant professor of mechanical
engineering make me well prepared to teach various types of introductory and
advanced engineering courses such as engineering statics and dynamics, fluid
mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, aerodynamics, engineering materials,
quality control, advanced convection heat transfer, advanced conduction heat transfer,
multiphase flow and others. Over the last one decade, I have dedicated much of my
time to quality teaching and research as well as developing courses and educational
materials. As a result, I have acquired extensive teaching experience at the
undergraduate and graduate levels at Kalasalingam Academy of Research and
Education, Deemed to be University.

Teaching Experience

During my teaching career, I taught the following courses:

Undergraduate Courses Graduate Courses

Engineering Statics and Dynamics

Engineering Thermodynamic

Heat and Mass Transfer

Fluid Mechanics and Machinery

Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics

Gas Dynamics & Jet Propulsion

Quality Control Operations Management

Materials Handling Technology

Engineering Materials

Effective teaching is a challenge for all educators due to many coupled student-related
and teacher-related factors and aspects. These include (and not limited to) student’s
background, motivation and aptitude to learning and teacher’s preparation,
communication, presentation style, effectiveness and love of job. Effective learning in
the classroom depends greatly on the teacher’s ability to maintain the interest that
brought students to the specific course in the first place.
It is the responsibility of the teacher to present the course subject in an interesting and
engaging manner that shows the elegance and beauty of subject matter as well as its
applicability to solving concrete and real-world problems and to nurture each student's
latent desire to learn.

Teaching Style

My personal style of teaching excellence is based on the following principles:

 The teacher should always come to the classroom well prepared and
enthusiastic. There is no doubt that the teacher’s enthusiasm is a crucial factor
in student motivation. This comes from confidence, mastery of the course
subjects and genuine pleasure in teaching and can bring out student learning
excitement and a sense of engagement.
 The teacher should always emphasize conceptual understanding and repeatedly
touch base with the fundamentals of the course.
 The teacher should always begin the lecture period with a brief summary of the
last class meeting and end by a summary of major or important points.
 The teacher should always encourage class discussion and try to reduce
students’ anxiety that can interfere with their performance.
 The teacher should always captivate and motivate students to do their best and
to maintain interest in the course. This is probably the most important point
among all. Motivation of students is not easy and it depends greatly on the
teacher’s enthusiasm, relevance and organization of the course material,
difficulty level of material, active involvement of students, use of many
understandable examples, and positive relation between the teacher and the
students.
 The teacher should always get students’ feedback to know if the students
understand him. This can usually be seen by increasing eye contact with the
students or by directly asking the students if they understand what he is saying.
 The teacher should always listen to and respect hisstudents, be appreciative of
students’ good work, understanding of students’ problems and be willing to
help them.
 In higher-level and graduate courses, the teacher should place greater emphasis
on students collaboration, planning and design, and critical review. Complex
scientific and engineering projects are rarely the work of an individual;
students must learn to organize and work as teams as early as possible.
Similarly, planning and design are essential elements of any large project, but
are difficult skills to master. Finally, the teacher should encourage the ability of
students to objectively critique the work of others which is a necessary
precursor to being able to accurately evaluate one's own work.
