Teaching
I've had the pleasure of teaching these courses during my time at UTM. If you're interested, you can sign up for them at the UG office in FKE. And if you have any questions about the course topics, don't hesitate to reach out to me or the UG officers— I'm here to help!
Undergraduate Courses
SEET 4593: Acoustic Engineering
This course is all about getting to grips with the fundamentals of acoustics engineering in a fun and practical way. You'll build confidence as you dive into the basics, from understanding sound waves and their behavior to tackling noise control, room acoustics, and sound system design. We’ll explore how sound propagates, how to control noise, and how to create spaces with great acoustics. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to apply what you've learned to design rooms with optimal acoustics and sound systems, making sure every sound is just right!
SEEE 4723: Capstone Project
This course offers you the chance to apply your technical knowledge and skills in a real-world engineering project, working in small teams (typically three or four students) under the guidance of an academic supervisor, with the option to have an industry advisor. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with the community and tackle real-world challenges, making your learning experience even more meaningful. Along the way, you’ll use project management tools, explore engineering standards, and reflect on the social and environmental responsibilities of engineers. It’s a fantastic way to bring everything you’ve learned together while making a positive impact!
SEEE 3533: Communication Principles
In this course, you’ll get a solid grasp of communication systems, starting with the basics like amplitude and frequency modulation. We’ll explore how transmitters and receivers work, tackle challenges like bandwidth and noise, and learn about preparing signals for digital systems. You'll also dive into key topics like coded pulse modulation, PCM, and digital modulation waveforms, while understanding how to measure system performance. We’ll cover multiplexing methods to make the most of communication resources, with insights from the Ericsson Educate initiative. By the end, you’ll be ready to confidently explain, evaluate, and solve communication system challenges.
SEEE 2523: Electromagnetic Field Theory
This course introduces you to the key theories and concepts in electrostatic, magnetostatic, and electromagnetic fields, all summed up in Maxwell’s equations. You’ll need some math skills, like multivariable calculus, and a basic understanding of circuit theory, including resistance, capacitance, and inductance. It’s a great way to build on what you already know and dive deeper into electromagnetic field theory!
SEEE 2133: Instrumentation and Electrical Measurement
This course introduces you to key metrology terms and concepts, focusing on their application in experimental methods. You’ll learn about electrical measurement using both analog and digital instruments, and how to interface with these tools while ensuring high-quality signal acquisition. We’ll also cover types of electrical noise, ways to minimize interference, and dive into the basics of transducers—their principles, operations, and functions. It’s a great foundation for understanding measurement and instrumentation!
POSTgraduate Courses
MKET 1513: Sustainable Design, Engineering and Management
This course aims to give you a deep understanding of the environmental and sustainability challenges engineers face today and how these challenges have led to the practice of Sustainable Design, Engineering, and Management. You’ll get a comprehensive overview of major environmental issues, with a focus on energy, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and green technology. Plus, you’ll engage in case studies and project-based learning around four key themes in sustainability: connecting, conceptualizing, valuing, and implementing. It’s a great way to explore how engineers can make a positive impact on our planet!
