I stress the use of interdisciplinary ideas in my teaching.  Rather than teaching students to specialize in a narrow area, I try to provide valuable perspective on how ideas relate with concepts students have already seen in other classes.  With these interdisciplinary goals in mind, I have purposely taught courses in two different areas within my department: power electronics, and electric machinery.  I have developed and taught three new courses in the area of electromechanical motion devices.  These are:

ECEN 611         General Theory of Electromechanical Motion Devices, 3 credits
ECEN 612         Computer Aided Design of Electromechanical Motion Devices, 3 credits
ECEN 442/742     DSP-Based Electromechanical Motion Control, 3 credits
