In the mid 1990&#8217;s I was drawn (almost accidentally) into teaching electronics courses, and it has continued to the present &#8211; a whole page is devoted to my electronics instruction.<\/p>\n<p>In 1998 I was recruited by the College of Engineering Dean to the planning team of a new freshmen-level introduction to engineering course. I actively taught EGN 1002 Fundamentals of Engineering from 1998 till 2003. Other colleagues of mine teach the course these days, and to my delight many follow the curriculum that I developed. The paper &#8220;The Making of EGN 1002 Fundamentals of Engineering&#8221; (<a title=\"The Making of EGN 1002 Fundamentals of Engineering\" href=\"http:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/2011\/11\/11\/the-making-of-egn-1002-fundamentals-of-engineering\/\">pdf<\/a>) is aimed at all instructors who wishes to teach such a course. It shares my experiences &#8211; successes, failures and much course material.<\/p>\n<p>Another paper &#8220;The Making of BME 5742 Bio-systems Modeling and Control&#8221; (<a title=\"The Making of BME 5742 Bio-Systems Modeling and Control\" href=\"http:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/2011\/11\/11\/the-making-of-bme-5742-bio-systems-modeling-and-control\/\">pdf<\/a>) shares sismilar experiences, regarding one of the courses that eventually became one of the core courses of our Bioengineering program.<\/p>\n<p>In 1996 the State of Florida mandated the Students Perception Of Teaching (SPOT) open-access surveys. It is sort of a cumulative &#8220;consumer report type&#8221; data regarding the teaching performance of all faculty and instructors. My SPOT evaluations for all courses that I taught from Spring 1997 till the present can be accessed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fau.edu\/spot\/\">www.fau.edu\/spot\/<\/a>. Search under &#8220;Instructor Name&#8221; &#8211; use the keywords &#8220;Roth, Zvi&#8221; and select a semester. In the ratings 1.0 means &#8220;excellent&#8221; and 5.0 means &#8220;poor&#8221;..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My goal is to share with colleagues around the world course related material.\u00a0The &#8220;Teaching&#8221; part of my web page is envisioned to be a portal for courses lecture videos, lecture note material, tutorials on subjects of interest and papers relating experiences and good practices on some of the course developments that I have done over [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-57","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":297,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions\/297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/rothz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
