TEACHING EXPERIENCE

The following courses are offered in the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Texas at Austin.

EE 381K, Digital Signal Processing (graduate course)
Professor: Alan C. Bovik
Grader, 1996 - 1998

As a grader for this course, I devised and graded homeworks for a class of approximately 50 students. I also supported a newsgroup and class Web page, gave instruction in the use of MATLAB, and gave lectures when necessary. Topics covered in the course included sampling theory, continuous-time and discrete-time systems, random processes, digital filtering, linear and non-linear filter design, Fourier transform theory, and wavelets and filter banks.

EE 371R, Digital Image Processing
Professor: Alan C. Bovik
Grader, 1995 - 1997

As a grader, I devised and graded homeworks for a class of approximately 40 undergraduate and graduate students. I also supported a newsgroup, gave class lectures when needed, and gave personal instruction in all aspects of the course. Topics covered included optics and image formation, binary and grayscale image processing, linear filtering, wavelets, computer vision, edge detection, and image and video compression.

EE 464K, Senior Design Lab
Professor: Elmer L. Hixson
Head Teaching Assistant, 1992 - 1995

As a TA in this course, I devised original projects in digital signal processing, analog electronics, power electronics, communications, and acoustics for undergraduate students. I supervised pairs of students for the entire course of each project (approximately 7 weeks). I graded lab work and oral presentations and gave personal instruction. As head TA of the course (1995), I also managed a group of 7 TA's, organised project assignments, and co-ordinated grade reporting and ultimate grade assigment for a class of approximately 100 students. Projects assigned included digital communications systems, digital and analog graphic equalizers, frequency-based measurement systems, digital and analog voice recognition, video generation and display, audio amplifiers and loudspeakers, and more.

EE 316, Digital Logic Design
Professor: Charles H. Roth, Jr.
Teaching Assistant, 1991 - 1992

As a TA in this self-paced course, I was personally responsible for ensuring the safe passage of approximately 40 students through the semester, as well as incidentally responsible for the remainder of the approximately 200 students taking the course. Duties included personal instruction, assigning and grading tests, grading final papers, weekly communication with students to ensure adequate progress, and continuous improvement of teaching materials.
