"Teaching is truth mediated by personality.”
--Phyllis Brooks
Good
teaching and supervision serve two needs: the knowledge students need now, and
the capacity to keep growing long after they leave campus. Knowledge advances
quickly, and AI tools can now supply much of it on demand, so the second need
matters more than ever.
I
often think of it this way. In the old days, a young person setting out on a
first long journey through a forest needed two things: enough provisions to
survive the first stretch, and good hunting skills to keep going once those
provisions ran out. In education, the provisions are the solid foundations a
course or project provides: principles, methods and tools. The hunting skills
are what make progress sustainable: framing the right problem, learning
independently, judging whether an answer is sound (including one produced by
AI), and communicating it clearly.
I
connect classroom fundamentals to real engineering problems, drawing on systems
my research teams have built and deployed with industry.
It
has been a privilege to support many students and young researchers through
their studies and early careers. Seeing them carry the skills and confidence
they built on campus into their work and lives is the most rewarding part of my
role.
