Physics and Engineering Department

Teaching philosophy

  1. To impart knowledge to students (of all levels and at both undergrad and grad) by teaching them the scientific method
  2. To actively involve the students in current scientific and engineering research problems, by working closely with them, and by showing to them the gratification of team work
  3. To guide the students in becoming accomplished professionals in the field of electrical engineering, and the physics and applications of modern solid state devices
  4. To teach the students how to love research and the advancement of knowledge in their field
  5. To excite new students in excelling in the fields of Physics and Engineering
  6. To guide (and mentor) the students in pursuing graduate degrees
  7. To link senior level students with other research and development environments (industrial and academic) via collaboration, proposal submission and paper presentation and publication
  8. To participate with the advisees in international meetings and exchange new and exciting ideas 
  9. To network the advisees with “colleague-groups” from all over the world
  10. To lead the way and provide a paradigm of dedication and hard work in one’s field
  11. To help promote the department to the center action of the device-community, both nationally and internationally
