Teaching
Dr. Mohammadi-Aragh and the members of Periscope Lab encourage students to actively engage in their own learning processes so that when students complete a course, they will have 1) new engineering knowledge that they can connect to real-world situations, and 2) the confidence to pursue additional independent study based on their own personal interests in the course topics.
Dr. Mohammadi-Aragh commonly teaches young, future engineers as they transition from the highly structured high school environment into the university setting. She has designed a number of introductory and design courses specifically targeting new engineers. Dr. Jean also teaches senior-level digital systems courses for the ECE Department and graduate-level engineering education courses for the Engineering Education Ph.D. concentration.
