Mechanical Engineering
What is your teaching philosophy?
"Engineer a learning experience that puts students in the driver's seat, and then get out of the way."
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Get to you know them. Ask about what is challenging them and what they want to learn.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By letting them take the lead and having them decide how to approach a problem. Ask them what they would do if I wasn't there.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
Set goals, work step by step towards achieving those goals. Use the power of positive thinking and believing in yourself. Share personal motivation experiences.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would have them explain to me their understanding of the concept, and maybe use a different teaching style if necessary.
