Faculty & Staff Resources

In addition to invited lectures, my current teaching activities at University of Texas at Arlington have been emphasized on didetic, labroatory, and research training courses. For the didetic course – Tissue Engineering, my lectures are designed to provide basic knowledge and intellectual training in tissue engineering research and development with an emphasis on strengthening students’abilities on problem finding and solving. To develop such critical thinking skills and techniques, my lectures were focused on providing the links between the basic knowledge, state-of-art technology, and real-life problems in tissue engineering development. The goal of this course is to provide students with real-world experience in the development and improvement of tissue engineering products and research in both academic and industrial settings. For the laboratory course – Tissue Engineering Laboratory, my goal is to provide the students hands-on skills needed to carry out independent research and investigation of prototype design, 3D printing, and design characterization. For the research training courses - Research Project and Research in Bioengineering, students are assigned to work on small independent projects with Ph.D. students or Postdoctoral Research Fellows in my laboratory. The students are provided with rare hands-on experience to work on ongoing research projects. All students are also asked to present their results in our weekly laboratory meeting. Many students have told me that the training received in these courses have enabled them to obtain research positions in either academic or industrial laboratories.
