Facilitation

ECE STRUCTURED GROUP STUDY

This program incorporates peer-assisted learning into the ECE curricula. Our goal is to have a 100% pass-rate for all ECE courses with a facilitator. Group study facilitators are ECE students who have received an A or B+ in the course for which they are the facilitator and all are volunteers.

John Budd

I have been attending NJIT for two years now. I was originally a CS major until the end of my freshman year when I changed to CoE. I am very happy about what I study and love to help others succeed at mastering their study too. I've had great success in tutoring friends in many other courses here at NJIT.

Dante Castillo

I am a junior majoring in Electrical Engineering. I have ample experience in tutoring, as a matter of fact; this is what I do for a living. I tutor mathematics and physics in Passaic High School. I also provide private tutoring sessions for the same subjects. If anybody needs, please don't hesitate to come to FMH 104.

Mordechai Dahan

I am an Electrical Engineering major with a concentration in controls and communications. I also plan to minor in computer engineering.

Until the spring 2009 semester I was only a part-time student working full-time and taking courses at night. Now that I am full time, I have the opportunity to work together with other students. I enjoy helping fellow students and at the same time learning so much more from them. When we work things out together we all come out with a much better understanding and an appreciation for the material.

Deepak Dwarakanath

I am an electrical engineering major. I have chosen to act as the facilitator for ECE 361 and 362 because I feel that I understand that these are difficult subjects, and can help students with the more complex aspects of the material. I enjoy teaching and instructing people. Facilitating also helps me develop my communications and interpersonal skills. My core concentration is in RF/Fiber Optics, which requires a strong foundation in electromagnetic field theory. This works well with my decision to facilitate ECE 361/362 because I continue to study this material at the present time.

Anish Goel

I have taught the following courses at RKN Engineering College: Microprocessors and Interfacing, Engineering Economics & Industrial Management, Embedded Systems, and Digital System Design. I have also participated in several projects at and outside NJIT.

ag247@njit.edu
Clifford Hillare

I am a senior double majoring in Applied Mathematics and Computer Engineering with a concentration in Computer Networking.

I enjoy tutoring because it keeps me refreshed on subjects that I have learned in the past. This is the same reason that I changed my minor in Applied Mathematics to a major. Although it is my first time tutoring for the ECE department, I have always enjoyed helping fellow classmates outside class hours in similar subjects.

mdp29@njit.edu
Phong Pham

I am currently in my third year at NJIT pursuing a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, with a concentration in Control Systems. I chose a double major because I believe that a mechanical engineer with a strong background in Electrical Engineering will be more advanced in automatic control design.

Besides academic study, I also participate in social activities. I am currently the Treasurer of Tau Beta Pi Honor Society and a Vice-President of Pi Tau Sigma Mechanical Engineeing Honor Society. Besides, my favorite sports are soccer and badminton, and every week I manage to put in some practice hours at the NJIT badminton club.

I believe that ECE Facilitation Programs are very practically helpful for ECE students. It is not only about helping other students, but it also gives me a chance to review materials I may have forgotten.

Remy Pimentel

I am a senior in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Networking. I chose to be a facilitator because I feel that helping others is what life is all about! I enjoy spending my time helping others grasp the material that I know… also, networking with other students from different backgrounds is fun to me.

Yanning Qu

I am currently working on my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering here at NJIT with a concentration in VLSI design and solid state.  My Bachelor's degree is in Electronic Information Engineering.

I like hardware language programming and designing systems. In the past, I have been involved in the National Electronic Contest and I have also successfully done a few research projects in microprocessors and the FPGA field.

I chose to pursue a Master's degree here to gain more knowledge and skills in my field. I am happy to be a facilitator both to help others solve the problems and also I think it is a good chance for me to practice my English!

Abhi Ravivarma

I am pursuing my Master's degree in Computer Engineering with a focus on Computer Architecture and Embedded System design. I took ECE 353 in the Fall 2008 semester and I chose to be the facilitator because I really enjoyed the material and I wanted to share what I learned with others. This subject requires a fundamental understanding of digital logic circuits and integrating to form a complex relationship between them.
I chose to tutor because when I took the course, this was a service that was not available to me…someone other than the professor who would have more time to sit with a student and go about explaining the concepts clearly.  I believe that by helping others to understand the fundamentals and become capable of personally solving and designing more complex issues, I help the student and I also help myself to understand the material at a deeper level.

Venkata Tetali

I am pursuing my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.  My Bachelor's degree is in the field of Electronics & Communication Engineering and I have worked as an intern at Forevision Instruments - a company whose focus is on the sales and services of scientific equipments.  

I have always been quick to volunteer and I enjoy sharing with others.  This attitude led me to grab many volunteer opportunities in the past at events such as scientific festivals and technical symposiums while doing my Bachelor's degree.  Now, I have taken on the responsibility to be a facilitator for the course Signals & Systems (ECE 333) so that I could be a help to my fellow students.  Currently, I also work as a Help Desk Consultant at the NJIT Academic Computing Services Department.

Bhargav Trivedi

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronics Engineering from Pune University in India. At present I am a graduate student of Computer Engineering at NJIT.

I have completed a few projects based on 8051 microcontrollers. I became a facilitator because I felt that I could be of some help to students and also make my knowledge much better as I believe that one learns more by teaching others. I hope that I will be of help to all the fellow NJIT students.
