My teaching approach is student-centered and I adopted case based learning to achieve this objective. My teaching pedagogy was developed from learning from training by education experts, peers, students, mentors, CDIOTM leaders and industry leaders. My teaching pedagogy encourages students to develop professional communication skills in terms of verbal and non-verbal and think like an engineer in solving challenges.
