“I am a child whose teacher is Love.”
-Rumi
Paulo Freire once wrote: “The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What an educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves”. I share this sentiment and aspire to help my students find their sense of purpose and identity as they pursue an engineering degree. As our shared future is shaped in classrooms, I intend to prepare knowledgeable engineers and empowered community members whose individualism and experience are connected to higher societal goals and the greater good. To me, this is teaching as an act of love.
CEE 6040: Structural Reliability Analysis (Graduate)
This graduate course covers a review of probability theory and leverages this foundation to explore reliability analysis approaches to estimating failure probabilities for civil engineering systems. These methods include first- and second-order reliability methods and Monte Carlo-based approaches. The course connects the theory to a building code calibration project.
CEE 3020: Structural Analysis (Undergraduate)
This undergraduate course covers the fundamentals of structural analysis, including types of structures, stability, determinacy, and methods for obtaining internal forces and deformations in trusses, beams, and frames. Energy methods and different methods of analyzing indeterminate structures are covered as well.
CEE 5070: Structural Steel Design (Undergraduate)
This undergraduate course covers the fundamentals of steel design, including the basis of LRFD in the AISC manual, steel behavior, design of tension members, compression members, and flexural members, and simple connections.

Fun with Structures!
As part of CEE3020, students can create a “creative” piece of music, a meme, or a video related to structural analysis. Here are some of the “hits” from the previous shows!
