Mechanical Engineering 39C and Mechanical Engineering 139

Multimedia Case Studies of Engineering Design

ME39C was a freshman/sophomore seminar developed by Alice Agogino and Sherry Hsi in the department of Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley where students learned how to communicate case studies of engineering design through multimedia. (The freshman/sophomore seminars were added by Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien to help motivate undergraduate students at Cal by bringing them into small classes with senior faculty.)

At UC Berkeley, I was a co-instructor for ME39C, and conceived of and designed ME139.
