Statement of Teaching
I passed B.Tech. degree in Electronics and Communication from
U.P. Technical University, Lucknow, U.P., India in the year 2006. I received MTech. degree
in Microelectronics and VLSI from National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, West-
Bengal, India in the year 2010. I received PhD degree in Microelectronics & VLSI from
National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, West-Bengal, India in the year 2014. Presently, I
am attached with Bharat Institute of Engineering and Technology, Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga-
Reddy District, Telangana India., as an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics
and Communication Engineering. My research interest includes Analog VLSI Design, VLSI
interconnect modeling and optimization and Antenna Design & optimization. I have
published 55 International Journals and 49 IEEE International Conference papers. Below, I
describe in detail my experiences and ideas in teaching:
My office hours allow me to interact with students individually
and get their feedback on various issues. For example, I was surprised to learn that many
more students than I expected actually look through class slides before the class. Given this
experience I will ensure that I will make my teaching slides available beforehand. Another
thing I learnt the hard way is grading can be a contentious issue if the grading scheme is not
made clear beforehand. And students are much happier if a detailed marking scheme is
provided for each question in an exam rather than a coarse evaluation. Many such finer
details which may not directly get discussed in a classroom came to my notice through
individual interactions. In addition, I was in charge of mentoring a couple of master's students
during my PhD. I also gave tutorials on my research to an audience, unfamiliar with my area
of research. I am hoping to translate all this valuable experience into practice when I teach
courses. Teaching gives me immense satisfaction and joy that I as a professor will have the
privilege to take part in the initial stages of student’s journey. One of the perks of an
academic life is the opportunity to interact with young and bright students most of whom are
at the threshold of entering into the real-world.

Teaching Philosophy: Electronics and Communication engineering is a practical field. Based


on my own experience and from the feedback provided by students I believe that students
should have a hands-on experience in building small systems or working through problems
rather than just a theoretical treatment of the subject. The impact of a hands-on experience
tends to stay for a much longer time. I would also like to keep my courses flexible. For
example, students can have the option of pursuing a bigger project instead of doing multiple
smaller ones. Given the subjective nature of evaluation of projects, I will pay careful attention
to the evaluation criterion. I would like to evaluate my students progressively over the
semester through assignments, projects and quizzes rather than just through tests. In more
advanced courses, tests may totally be replaced with writing a research paper or a major
project. As the world gets increasingly networked, the role of a traditional teaching method
may decrease to some extent. However, a teacher would still need to play the key role of
inculcating curiosity in learning the various concepts and techniques and show the joys of
exploring the various topics without necessarily focusing on end results. To facilitate this, I
will keep my classes interactive. I will also introduce discussion sessions on open-ended. I
would also like to invite guest lecturers or do a field trip for my courses whenever possible.
Lastly, I will ensure that my grading system doesn't penalize students for doing more
exploratory work rather than a results-oriented work.

Plan for future: For undergraduate and postgraduate level, I am always interested in teaching
core courses of ECE such as Analog/Digital Integrated Circuits, Microelectronics and VLSI,
VLSI Technology, CMOS Mixed Circuit Design, Low Power VLSI Design, Digital Design
with Verilog HDL, Electronics Devices and Circuit, Solid State Electronics and others. I am
also interested in developing and teaching new non-conventional courses such as a course
Advances in VLSI Design, Simulation Modelling & Analysis, ASIC Design etc. I believe that
these types of courses would be more suitable at an undergrad level since they will be able to
provide practical context to otherwise theoretical subjects and potentially inspire students to
pursue these subjects at an advanced level. In addition, I would also like to teach specialized
research courses that focus on research in Microelectronics and VLSI. Students of late are
exposed to a lot of options to pursue at a very early stage and hence decide on their career
paths early. As a passionate researcher in the field of Microelectronics and VLSI. I believe
that it is my duty to expose them to the joys of research and help to spot and groom the future
scientists early.
In addition to making changes in response to student progress towards course goals
and student feedback, I continually refine my teaching techniques by attending workshops
offered by the various Centre for Teaching Excellence and seeking informal consultation with
experienced colleagues. As a result, I feel I am improving and evolving as a teacher. Even
after several years, I think it is important that I look for additional ways to grow as an
instructor and to prevent my teaching from getting stale. I will continue to look for
opportunities to create new courses, and to fine-tune and update my current courses by
incorporating innovative teaching techniques and presenting students the most up-to-date
research and theories, as well as historically important work, in each area.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. Vikas Maheshwari
