Develop lecture material, tests, and lab assignments to provide a basic overview of electrical engineering for 90+ students. This class culminates in the the students spending 5-6 weeks developing their own Arduino based project which interfaces to the outside world through digital and analog sensors. The majority of the students have little to no engineering or programming experience and must learn concepts starting from the very basic to a point where they can complete such a project. Oversaw 5 undergraduate teaching assistants to accomplish this goal.• Create course materials from scratch including lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, homework assignments, and tests to meet course objectives.• Evaluate student performance and provide feedback throughout the term• Conduct performance analysis on assignments using Excel and Google Sheets• Deliver lectures to groups of 90-100 students• Run labs to reinforce lecture material with groups of 30-35 students • Use Desire2Learn and Slack to facilitate discussion and grading.• Advise and mentor undergraduate student success• Supervise and direct 5 undergraduate teaching assistants in grading and lab duties.

Applied advanced knowledge of scientific and engineering principles to design, model, test and validate various products, sub-assemblies and complex systems focused on LED lighting systems with little supervision or guidance. This was done while participating in, and sometimes leading, cross-functional teams.• Led the hardware and software development of a two-stage PFC LED driver to enable new Internet of Things features and maximize manufacturing flexibility through the use of fully software defined quasi-resonant switching controllers.• Led the transition to a new microcontroller architecture for new products: ARM Cortex-M0. • Developed a new highly flexible test system which can test the complete product portfolio, while logging data and reporting results back to headquarters from all overseas partners. This reduces unit to unit variability from >30% to less than 5% while increasing the amount of data available to ensure high quality product.• Developed of a new switching converter architecture to enable a fully solid state system of controlling beam pattern with input from the CTO.• Created 4 additional provisional patent filings.
