About Brian
How many students have I taught? At this point I would say over 2000! My students consistently provide immensely positive feedback about my teaching style and performance, often citing my passion and enthusiasm, and my ability to explain difficult concepts to anyone.
While completing both of my graduate degrees at Carleton University's Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, I was a teaching assistant for a number of courses at the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year levels. These included Solid Mechanics (MAAE 2202), Engineering Dynamics (MAAE 2101), and Lightweight Structures (AERO 3101), which focused on mechanics, kinematics, and dynamics of solid bodies, elastic deformations, and various principals of motion and equilibrium. I also taught elements of Engineering Materials (MAAE 2700), which focused on material properties, corrosion, heat treatments, failure modes, and some aspects of manufacturing and maintenance. Other subjects I have taught include Introduction to Aeroelasticity (AERO 4602), which bridged principals of solid mechanics, aerodynamics, and vibration, as well as the Gas Turbine Laboratory (MAAE 3901), which touched on both aerodynamics and thermodynamics, and the Vehicle Dynamics Laboratory (MAAE 3901), which looked at vibrational dynamics of car suspensions. Both the Gas Turbine Laboratory and Vehicle Dynamics Laboratory involved the use of laboratory equipment and supervision of students in a laboratory
setting. I have also taught Feedback Control Systems (MAAE 4500), which introduced students to mathematical techniques for modeling and controlling dynamic mechanical and electrical systems.
In addition to conventional courses, I also had the experience of supervising and mentoring students as part of the Spacecraft Design Project (MAAE 4907). This did not involve specific material presented in lectures, tutorials, or laboratories, but instead allowed me to work with individuals and small groups (each project has a team of approximately 25 students) to advise them regarding design methodologies.
More significantly, I gained experience as an instructor for the applied sciences course Introduction to Computer Programming for Engineers (APSC 142) with the Queen's University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (which has now been restructured as APSC 143), contributing to course material including lectures, tutorials, laboratory experiments (using LEGO robots), quizzes, and the final exam. The subject matter consisted of basic aspects of the C++ programming language in the context of solving engineering problems, and was targeted at students who may or may not have any previous exposure to computer programming. I subsequently taught this course again as the administrating instructor for the Winter 2016 and Winter 2017 terms, as a section instructor for the Fall 2017 term, and will continue to teach this course in the Fall 2018 term. I have also taught as an instructor for Machine Vision (ELEC 474) over the Winter 2018 term.
As a course developer with the Algonquin College School of Advanced Technology, I gained new experiences in creating four courses for their Robotics & Automation program: Control Systems, Machine Shop and Manufacturing Techniques, Computer Aided Design, and Sensors and Instrumentation. This involved the development of course objectives, learning outcomes, course outlines, suggested textbooks and reading
material, and the integration of these courses within the broader scope of the new robotics and automation engineering program being created at the College.
I am currently an adjunct assistant professor with the Department of Mining at Queen's University, where I teach online courses as part of the Bachelor of Mining Technology program, including Engineering Physics (MNTC 302) and Introduction to Computer Programming for Engineering Applications (MNTC 313). I previously developed these two courses as a course author, and have also previously delivered Foundational Mathematics (MNTC P03) as part of the same program. This has offered me the opportunity to gain experience with innovative new methods for teaching through short video lectures, interactive web-tools, and more focus on open discussions and news forums.
Finally, I have had the pleasure of creating and teaching my own mini-course for the Queen's University Enrichment Studies Unit. This course, entitled Rocket Science: How to Get to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond, introduced high school students to all aspects of spacecraft engineering, including structural design, propulsion, attitude control, communications, thermal protection, orbital mechanics and more. Although it was not an accredited university course, it gave me the freedom to creatively approach the subject and present material to students using lecture slides, videos, and even using Kerbal Space Program for interactive design and testing of rockets.

I've been teaching engineering as a teaching assistant and adjunct university professor for over 10 years. I pride myself on my enthusiasm, patience, and ability to teach topics to students with various levels of understanding. My approach to teaching is to achieve a good balance between professionalism and friendliness, making students feel comfortable and relaxed in the learning environment while still maintaining a healthy level of
formality. I'm here to offer tutoring to students at all levels of education in mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer programming (C/C++ and MATLAB).
