Dr Francesco Fornetti, University of Bristol
Dr. Fornetti's vision on academic teaching is that it should
not be seen as simply a transfer of knowledge and
notions between the instructor and the student. He sees
it instead as the process of stimulating curiosity and
creating enthusiasm about a subject in a way that
encourages, inspires, and enables students to explore the
subject beyond classroom walls. He also believes that the
wide availability of powerful simulation tools, new
technology, and broadband internet access sets
academic teaching free from the static setting of a
classroom and the black and white pages of a textbook.
In particular, in the field of RF engineering where
laboratory work would be impractical, he feels that
simulations and animations should be an integral part of
teaching. They not only give students the knowledge to
experiment with circuits on the simulator but also explain
abstract concepts in a more conceptual and visual way.
