First of its kind fixed-term lecturer position offered by Monash University to its meritorious PhD scholars. The role included Curriculum development, Lecturing, and Research. Alongside teaching, I also completed the Monash Educator Advancement Program (MEAP) which included the following modules - Design asynchronous learning - Integrate student voice in teaching - Supporting academic integrity in your teaching As a Lecturer I taught following courses, IDN2001 - Industrial Design Studio 3, Semester 1, 2024. - I delivered lectures guiding students through a collaborative project designing fully envisioned power tools within pre-defined brand guidelines and styles provided. - Students worked in teams to establish unique house brand styles, then individually modelled, rendered, and perfected their kitchen appliance CADs in alignment with their group's overall vision. IDN1002 - Industrial Design Studio 2, Semester 2, 2024, - I delivered lectures covering Fusion 360, a complex CAD modelling program. - Students gained firsthand experience applying their CAD skills by developing highly detailed digital prototypes of products of their choice.
As a lecturer in industrial design, I instruct and guide undergraduate students on utilising CAD software to communicate and refine their product designs visually. I taught the following studio courses, IDN2001 - Industrial Design Studio 3, Semester 1, 2023. - I delivered lectures guiding students through a collaborative project designing fully envisioned kitchen appliances within pre-defined brand guidelines and styles provided. - Students worked in teams to establish unique house brand styles, then individually modelled, rendered, and perfected their kitchen appliance CADs in alignment with their group's overall vision. IDN1002 - Industrial Design Studio 2, Semester 2, 2023, - I delivered lectures covering Fusion 360, a complex CAD modelling program. - Students gained firsthand experience applying their CAD skills by developing highly detailed digital prototypes of products of their choice. Through both courses' hands-on projects, students greatly expanded their skills in leveraging CAD to craft, refine, and convey holistic product design concepts aligned to real-world applications.
I was entrusted with the role of a transport volunteer, a position that brought me face-to-face with the heartbeats of the tournament. From warmly welcoming FIFA officials to providing a gracious greeting to national teams, players, and staff at Melbourne Airport, I was exposed to the bustling international energy that fuels the world of football. The chance to interact with individuals from diverse nations, each playing their unique part in the symphony of this global event, was an education in itself. My journey extended beyond the airport, as I eagerly signed up for additional shifts in the pre-match ceremonies during a FIFA World Cup game. One particularly exhilarating role was unfurling the colossal FIFA banner on the pitch, as the players walked onto the field amid resounding cheers and the strains of national anthems. Amidst the airport shifts, I had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with FIFA's top officials and some of the world's finest footballers. Collaborating with like-minded individuals from various nationalities, united by a common purpose, instilled a deep sense of camaraderie. The learnings from this experience are vast, the memories are irreplaceable, and my memorabilia collection has reached new heights.
