For the last 3 years, I have taught After School program as a volunteer for K-7 in Photo Journalism and Electronics Arts in an elementary and middle school. In many presentations, I designed and built 2D/3D graphics and animation programs to stress deeper understanding on some projects. Students in upper grades get to build projects ranging from compound microscope to solar dish framing to digital thermometers all using recycled materials from spent disposable cameras to old cell phones. These projects stressed heavy emphasis in science and mathematics.

I spent more time coaching students who have difficulties in optical physics and algebra all required for some projects. These difficulties were resolved by breaking down equations, relating these equations to real-time hands-on projects. A natural algorithm or a step by step process were implemented where natural logic was easily understood. Formulas were simplified by relating part of a project where it applied to its brief history. Some exercises were implemented to show mastery of each subtopics. These enabled one or more students to easily relate formulas and equations to its applications and elevate skill level and proficiency. At the end of each school year, students were far more advanced than they first started of the program.

I have over 20 years extensive experience in the applications of several multiple subjects, based on degree of difficulty (DOF) such as; General Math, Pre-Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Statistics and Probability, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, & III (Multivariable Calculus), Finite Math, Difference and Differential Equations, Laplace Transform/Fourier Transform (Time/Frequency Domain), General Chemistry, Physics (Acoustics, Electronics, Electrodynamics, Electromagnetics, Optics & Light, Plasma/Fusion, and Quantum Mechanics).

Web Design

Designed and installed an interactive website under contractual agreement for an electrical contractor using both an HTML editor and writing HTML, PhP, javascript and Mysql that provided online visibility, online service business, and communications utility. The functional communications of the program uses a communications hardware with modified written javascript and PhP codes enabling dispatch from submitted client forms to simultaneously call-in prospective contractors through text messaging...

Differential Equations

Part of the course in undergraduate mechanical engineering was completion of differential equations. First order and second order differential equations were rigorous. My graduate degree in Electrical Engineering required a strong differential equations background prior to taking Systems Equations. Systems Equations encompass rigorous applications of Laplace Transforms, Fourier Transforms, and Z-Tranforms where its applications are found mostly in Test and Measurement, Communications (filter designs),...

Video Production

Unique experience in video production in that I combined several interactive motion and graphics input and output files into streaming video presentation. These files included 3D animation, 3D graphics, music dubbing while teaching at both elementary and middle school as part of the school's Photo Journalism and Electronic Arts course that I started as an after school program for the school for the last 3 years. This course provided students to learn both technical and symbolic representation... Read More

C++

My past industrial experience required and comprised writing codes in C and C++ programs particularly during the development of a new technology prior to production process. There were several options and varieties of programs that were available and one of them is C and C++ programs. For several years, I have gone to being a casual coding writer and debugger into user of numerical analyser that encapsulates among other things C and C++ programs.

One of the best applications I have... Read More
