Retired Nuclear Engineer loves to teach toughest courses helping others achieve success

Methodology

Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Nuclear Engineering) University of Florida

Over 2000 hours of technical and self development courses received during a 37 year career working as a Licensed Professional Engineer (State of Florida) both nationally and internationally.

In my work as in my teaching plans, the multifaceted problems that present themselves to be solved, varied across all engineering disciplines, scientific and mathematics fields, with a special emphasis on working with people in every field, nationality, creed, culture, and knowledge level.

Problem solving can be fun when it is performed as an opportunity to share knowledge to help others grow their knowledge and understanding of the best ways to think and tackle problems using the mind to see all the "pieces of the puzzle" and skillfully apply written instructions from the textbooks to solve the puzzle/problems.

Teaching is about sharing the tools and developing others minds to know and understand the tools and how best to use them solve the problems. While each problem is unique, as we all know neither I nor anyone else can give you the answers to all of the problems you will encounter in life and your career, but to give you the tools and share the methods of the mind to see the real problem that needs to be solved and develop answers in simple logical ways each student can apply for themselves.

This approach is the same approach my professors used to teach me to think like and Engineer, and be the best nuclear engineer I was capable of being believing in the process they used so I could believe in me and do the work that was difficult at times, but never impossible. For a young man that grew up on a farm slopping the pigs, and started working at 7 years old on a trash truck and paper recycling business in 1962, the instruction I received and am able to share with my students, is life changing and rewarding for me and for you!
