Teaching interests

Yichuan’s goal in teaching is to foster thoughtful, critical, engaged, independent thinkers. The learning-by-doing approaches, including peer learning, team-based simulation games, real-world case studies, and collaborative learning with industrial experts, have been incorporated into the modules. He has created a learning environment in which industry-immersive experience is involved.

He is also very enthusiastic about using serious games (or simulation games) in the modules. He has worked with Auburn University Samuel Ginn College of Engineering to develop serious game for students to learn engineering knowledge and skills. This project was funded by National Science Foundation (NSF), USA (US$ 200,000).

His commitment and approach to teaching have been rewarded with the outstanding teaching evaluation in the most evaluation categories. He was nominated for Teaching Excellent Awards in the category of global campus at Newcastle University in 2018. He was made a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2018.
