  The Listwin Family Chair in Innovative Teaching was established through the donation of a $2.5 million endowment from a College of Engineering Alumnus

  to focus on developing and integrating design into introductory engineering courses in the college.\n\nAs holder of the Chair

  I was responsible for developing discipline-specific design labs to give students a taste for the different Engineering Disciplines.\n\nI also developed and implemented a new first year engineering design course that integrated a formal design process and a product design class. The class is still currently being taught in the College of Engineering at the U of S to all first year Engineering students.\n\nI also taught multiple design class sections of about 70 students each

  and work on innovative ways to teach Applied Mechanics to classes of 200+ students.\n\nI also coordinated multiple Instructors

  Teaching Assistants

  Markers and logistics for exams for 400+ students.\n
