The
Teaching Statement
of
Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez Jorge
is updated to July 2019. The completed and signed version of
my Teaching Statement is available upon request. |

I am personally motivated for applying to a position at
University because I like teaching so much. I believe that
education is a strong pillar for the development of a
country. Teaching has provided me one of the
most satisfying
professional experiences. This is because researching on my
research topics have given me a deep and wide knowledge
about these subjects. This knowledge that I have accumulated
through practice and research is very valuable when it is
shared with my students. |

I started my career as an Assistant Professor in the
Department of Mechatronics at the Technological University
of Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, Mexico. My first time there I
worked for two years, during this time I was teaching
Informatics III, Robotics, Analog Electronics, Informatics
II, Mathematics I and Mathematics III. Moreover, I also
worked as a lecturer in the Department of Computer Sciences
and Informatics at the Technological Institute of Ciudad
Juarez, in Chihuahua, Mexico. In this Institute, I was
teaching Computer Sciences subjects: Artificial Intelligent,
Data Structures, and Theory of Computation. My knowledge on
these subjects improved due to my preparation and the
valuable doubts rose by students in the class. |

Immediately after, I joined the Czech Technical University
in Prague, in the Czech Republic. Then, I delivered my
services as a Teaching Assistant there for two years. There
too, I was able to impart knowledge to undergraduate
students on subjects like Measurements in Engineering, and
Computer Support for Study. Each semester I received good
feedback from my teaching. This helped me to share a lot of
ideas and thoughts with foreign students coming from other
countries for an internship to our institute. In my staying
there, I was more focused on my research and
working hard to
finish my Ph.D. studies on time. |

|
After finishing doctoral studies, I joined the Technological
University of Ciudad Juarez as Associate Professor, where I
collaborated with a cross-disciplinary research team from
different Universities, and where I worked for nearly
3-years. During this time, I was teaching the subjects:
Analog Electronics, Automatic Control,
Applied Calculus,
Integrative Subject, Applied Differential Equations,
Linear
Systems for Automation, Digital Systems, and Sensors.

Later, I became
Titular Professor-Researcher
at the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez, Institute of
Engineering and Technology. In this Institute, I have been
delivering activities of research, teaching, mentoring,
advising, and academic gestion, mainly. During this time, I
have been teaching undergraduate,
Master and
Doctoral subjects. For undergraduate students I have
been teaching the subjects: Maintenance of
Mechatronics Systems, The Project of
Mechatronics Diploma Thesis, Programming
Fundamentals, and Interface Design I.
Moreover, I have been able to impart knowledge to
Master students
from the Applied Computing Master Program, Master’s in
technology, and Master’s in manufacturing. For this Master
Programs, I have been teaching the subjects:
Advanced Programming, Machine Learning,
Scientific Computing, and Fuzzy
Control Systems. In addition, I have been able to
share ideas, and teaching to
doctoral students from the Doctoral
Studies in Technology, where I have been teaching the
subjects: Research Seminar III, The
Project of Diploma Thesis I, and The
Project of Diploma Thesis II. |

As a research institute member, I wish to develop activities
of research, teaching,
mentoring, advising, and academic gestion,
where I wish to teach Programming Languages,
Artificial Neural Networks for Engineering
Applications, Integral and Discrete
Transform, Scientific Computing,
Fuzzy Control Systems, Advanced
Programming, Machine Learning,
Simulation of Biomedical Systems,
Models in Control and Monitoring Systems Design,
Principles of Measurement in Physical Quantities. |

|
I believe that a good
education in Engineering must rely on
strong fundamentals in
Mathematics, Algorithms,
Discrete Mathematics, and Programming Languages. My
background on Control and Systems
Engineering and in
Artificial Intelligence made me aware of the
importance of solid theoretical foundation in
Mathematics and
programming languages for teaching. In
addition, I have been taken several courses about
teaching in terms of
skills, and
regarding the new methodologies for teaching
which will help me to develop and
teach a well-illustrated course. My experience in
research will also help to teach
in a good pace. |
