Brown University
- Teaching Assistant, ENGN0030 Introduction to Engineering, Fall 2017
- Instructors: Prof. Karen Haberstroh and Prof. Brian Sheldon
- Description: The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the profession of engineering and the important role engineers play in society, as well as to provide a foundation for further study in engineering. The course begins with the consideration of engineering design and introduces a number of tools that are fundamental to engineering. These include vectors, computer-aided design (SolidWorks), and basic programming (MATLAB). Particular attention is then focused on the analysis of static structures, but topics also include professional ethics and the social responsibility of engineers. Students will complete a set of training modules and three design projects in the Brown Design Workshop.
- Responsibility:
- Hold 4-hr office hours per week
- Grade homework assignments
- Hold tutorial sessions on 1) MATLAB and 2) Introduction to vectors
- Proctor mid-term and final exams
- Teaching Assistant, ENGN0040 Dynamics and Vibrations, Spring 2018
- Instructors: Prof. Allan Bower and Prof. Jimmy Xu
- Description: A broad introduction to Newtonian dynamics of particles and rigid bodies with applications to engineering design. Concepts include kinematics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies; conservation laws; vibrations of single-degree-of-freedom systems; and the use of MATLAB to solve equations of motion and optimize engineering designs. Examples of applications are taken from all engineering disciplines. Lectures, recitation, and team design projects, including the use of the Brown Design Workshop. Prerequisite: ENGN 0030.
- Responsibility:
- Hold 4-hr office hours per week
- Grade homework assignments
- Proctor four group projects
- Proctor mid-term and final exams
