IV. TEACHING INNOVATIONS Teaching Innovations

Credited as the first faculty member in the USU College of Engineering who implemented the

Classroom Response System (nicknamed “Clickers”) in engineering classes to improve student active learning. Encouraged and inspired by Dr. Fang’s success of using Clickers, many other faculty members in the College followed his lead and also implemented clickers in their classrooms.

Credited as the first faculty member in the USU College of Engineering who provided tablet

PCs for all students in a summer dynamics class for students to use to improve instructor-student interactions.

Developed a new set of web-based interactive computer simulation and animation modules for an engineering dynamics course under the support of an NSF grant award.

Developed a new pedagogical model that integrates concept mapping, laboratory experimentation and 5E learning cycle to teach foundational engineering sciences courses.

Developed an intelligent tutoring system to improve student problem-solving skills in an engineering dynamics course under the support of a USU grant award.

Developed a computer simulation and animation software package for an upper-division manufacturing engineering course under the support of an NSF grant award.

Developed a university-wide lean manufacturing course in collaboration with the faculty in the College of Business under the support of an NSF grant award.
