• Course materials focus on gaining a practical understanding of mechatronic subsystems and microcontroller programming.
• Revised course materials to make the class easier to maintain and teach for new professors.

Greater Salt Lake City Area

• Led a team of 4 people to develop the Reactive Grip haptic device
• Produced all firmware, software, and PCBs to provide haptic interactions and HID compliant USB communication.
• Component selection and packaging.
• Quickly iterated device hardware through rapid prototyping techniques (3D printers and Waterjet Cutters).
• Provided design revisions to improve assembly time and allow the device to be made with simple injection molds.
• Ergonomic design, allowing comfortable use for extended periods of time.

• Research in the Haptics and Embedded Mechatronics Laboratory (HEML) related to tactile feedback. This involves both software and hardware design covering all levels of development.
• Design and create new robotic devices for haptic applications (hardware, electronics, and software)
• Developed multi-threaded applications to control real-time haptic applications.
• Utilize rapid prototyping tools to quickly implement and test new ideas
• Develop interactive tools for teaching students about haptics and robotics

Greater Salt Lake City Area

• Rewrote 8 lab assignments and course materials to utilize new microcontrollers and improve retention
• Received the outstanding TA award in the College of Engineering 2012-2013 academic year
• Provided the general background needed to integrate general sensors and communicate between microcontrollers
• Developed materials that focused on helping students understand the difficulties and pitfalls in microcontroller programming and communication

Greater Salt Lake City Area

• Rewrote and coordinated 7 labs.
• Wrote and presented a lecture on basic openGL programming and good coding structure.
• Developed a template program to improve code modularity and focus the students' attention on the choice concepts.
• The class is meant as an introduction to haptics (touch sensing and feedback); Lab exercises require students to program choice concepts into their own haptic applications.
