Teaching Expertise and Approach

Purush teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in the industrial and systems engineering. He describes his approach to teaching as follows:

"I believe in learning by doing. I ensure my students are engaged and ensure they all get to work on real-life projects in each of my course. I value time and offer my time in many ways to train our students. I try my best to break any barriers that prevent students to approach me. I promote and engage in active communication with all my students inside and outside the classroom."
