Teaching

This page presents my teaching activities at the University of Toronto. The page includes links to a statement on my personal views on teaching, the courses I teach, and other teaching initiatives to which I have recently contributed.

The primary objective of my teaching activity is to help students acquire the knowledge, skill, and values they need to become good structural designers.

Other teaching activities

August 2006: Portland Cement Association's Bridge Professors Seminar

Each year, the Portland Cement Association puts on a week-long seminar for university professors, to give them up-to-date knowledge of design practice. In 2005 and 2006, I was asked by the Post-Tensioning Institute (which collaborates with the Portland Cement Association on this course) to teach the portions of this course related to post-tensioning and post-tensioned bridges.
