This course introduces essential programming concepts for engineers, using Python as the primary language. The course starts with the basics such as data types, flow controls, algorithmic thinking and moves on to symbolic math, data analysis and basics of machine learning. The course content is available on GitHub for anyone to use!

In addition to fundamental concepts, there are interactive examples that I use in the class such as: 

1. Double Pendulum Analysis

2. Eight Queen Puzzle Solver

3. Large Language Models

4. Truss Analyzer

This course will evolve over time and will include more content and examples, both within and outside of Civil Engineering!

In this course we cover most aspects of pavement engineering. Materials, mechanistic analysis, design, assessment, management, sustainability, machine learning applications and more. 

To teach the concepts better, I use these interactive examples of:

1. 3D layered elastic analysis

2. Falling weight deflectometer

3. Ground penetrating radar

4. International roughness index 

5. Life Cycle Cost Analysis

More is on the way!

Statics is a core engineering course where students learn the basics of structural mechanics in engineering. It was one of my favorites as a student as I saw a lot of applications! Given statics is a sophomore class, I try to incorporate topics from other sophomore classes such as programming and statistics into statics such that the student can learn to combine concepts from different classes. More on that on Are we teaching engineering in Silos?

I also have a interactive examples in which I cover concepts from:

1. Truss analysis, 

2. Shear and moment diagrams 

3. Probabilistic loads 

I try to keep these examples simple but still tied to real world applications!
