Qualifications

Courses

· Engineering Thermodynamics

Dr Xianfang Yue is an experienced teacher for university students, with her main area of teaching in fluid-Solid Interaction underlying the therapeutic effects of neuromodulation, engineering thermodynamics and biorheology from 2007 to 2015. Typically she teaches to large classes of around 400 students. She has developed an innovative approach to teaching and conducting research with graduates and undergraduates through creating and presenting course materials in both laboratory and classroom settings. In her experience the best teaching involves concrete, hands-on examples, so she engages students in her courses by encouraging the maximum laboratory participation and research practice possible. Students gave a high evaluation to her courses. She was part of the team that won the title of “Outstanding teaching team on the mass and heat transfer course in Beijing” in 2010 and the Excellent Educational Materials in Beijing by participated in editing professional practice course of thermal energy and power engineering in 2011.

In addition, there are 34 undergraduate and 7 graduate students have carried out the energy-saving research under Dr Xianfang Yue’s supervision.
