An Experiment to enhance Signals and Systems learning by using technology based teaching strategies

Dr. Berenice Verdin is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for Teaching Exellence and Innovation at the University of Texas at El Paso. She graduated with a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2005. She presented her research results at the UTEP Student Research Expo, the UMET Undergraduate Research Symposium, and the SPIE Symposium on Defense and Security. She also presented her research work to the National Science Board and the Director of the National Science Foundation. As a Ph.D student she worked on a project sponsored by Army Research Laboratories. In addition, she worked as a graduate intern for Locked Martin Corporations. She presented her research results on SPIE Symposium Photonics + Applications. She earned her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering in August 2009. After completing her Ph.D, Dr. Verdin taught several electrical engineering courses at the University of Texas at El Paso.
