ENGINEERING PROFESSOR- DAN BOYNE, Teaching Methods & Style
What To Expect In Class:
Do you like science, engineering, and math? I’d love to see you in my ‘Intro to Engineering’ class at ACC.
In my Introduction to Engineering course, we combine reading, lecture slides, and hands-on use of engineering tools such as CAD software. Throughout, I interject experiences from my 30 years in the high-tech microelectronics field. We end the semester with a group project to engineer a small, self-driving car. In doing so, we practice engineering concepts while gaining exposure to motors, electronics, software, and 3D-printing.
Whether I’m in a classroom or just chatting one-on-one with a student, I’m happy to share experiences from my 30 years of engineering work in the high-tech microelectronics field. And if you’re interested in working in the semiconductor or microelectronics industry, connect with me on LinkedIn and let’s talk about how to get your foot in the door through networking or a paid internship.
Physics and engineering courses can be tough. If something isn’t making sense to you, there’s free walk-in help available (ACC Tutoring). Many of ACC’s campuses have physics and engineering tutors who will help you conquer even the most difficult concepts and problems.
I tutor physics and engineering at the Learning Lab at the Highland Campus. Check my schedule online, as it varies from semester to semester MY Tutoring Schedule Just walk in the ACCelerator, turn right, and skip down to the Learning Lab. I and other tutors are waiting for you!
