Creating an Authentic Learning Experience for Students: Joseph Borowiec
Reposted from the FITL blog . The The Faculty Innovations in Teaching and Learning Center sat down with industry professor Joseph Borowiec to learn about how using instructional technology has enhanced student learning. In Senior Design I (ME-UY 4112) and Senior Design II (ME-UY 4113), mechanical engineering students apply their knowledge and skills obtained from earlier course work into the product design, development, and creation of prototype hardware. As part of the capstone design experience, students are expected to utilize their collaboration skills in all aspects of the two-part course sequence. Professor Joseph Borowiec, who joined the faculty at NYU Tandon in 2009, has taught Senior Design I and II for a number of years. As a licensed professional engineer, he understands the importance of providing hands-on, authentic learning experiences as his students prepare to begin their careers as innovative mechanical engineers.
