WEMPEC New Teaching Affiliate
WEMPEC would like to welcome Patrick Flannery, an associate teaching professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, to our team as a Teaching Affiliate. He currently teaches ECE 504; a lab class where students connect their understanding of electric machine theory, power electronic circuits and controls to implement, test and evaluate modern electric drive systems. He’s previously taught ECE 355, 411, 412, and 712. His favorite aspect of teaching is seeing how students connect experimental results to theory, especially when applied to practical problems they are likely to face in their future careers.
