Ning Chuang has extensive experience as an electrical engineer, having worked for four companies prior to earning a PhD. They have taught various electrical engineering courses at several universities, including signals and systems, power systems analysis, and power electronics. During their teaching career, they won a Rector's Commendations Teaching Award for Excellence in Classroom Teaching. They also designed new 3-phase transformers for undergraduate laboratory use. Their main research interests are in nonlinear systems, robust control, nano-positioning, power systems, electric machines, and robotics.

2. I am an experienced electrical engineer
My background is an electrical engineer. I worked as an electrical engineer for four companies prior to my PhD
study at UNSW Canberra. During the period of my employment with those companies I was involved with a number of
engineering projects as follows:
2
Plant operation, production support
and automatic control development
at Shepparton Preserving Company
Hydro Tasmania power systems
SEMF Holdings ship-loader projects Altium electronics and software
B.Eng (Hons), MEngSc, PhD,
MIEAust, CPEng, NPER

3. Teaching vision statement:
I have been actively involved in teaching and tutoring various subjects in Electrical Engineering at the
University of Tasmania, UNSW Canberra at Australian Defence Force Academy and Murdoch University.
Those courses I taught are:
 Advanced dynamics and control – Y4 (UTAS)
 Final year power system design – Y4 (UTAS)
 Signals and systems – Y2 (UNSW Canberra @ ADFA)
 Programmable digital systems – Y3 (UNSW Canberra @ ADFA)
 Power machines – Y4 (UNSW Canberra @ ADFA)
 Power system analysis – Y3 (Murdoch University)
 Power electronics and drives – Y3 (Murdoch University)
 Circuits and systems – Y2 (Murdoch University)
 Microcontrollers and software design – Y1 (Murdoch University)

4. How I teach students?
4
Quality teaching and learning
styles including flexible modes
> Good preparation
> Comprehensive delivery
Providing students with
> detailed course information;
> feedback and encouragement;
> laboratory experimental classes.
Regularly setting up tutorial
workshops, assignments, tests,
practical projects effectively for
students to participate before
their final examinations.

5. Contributions during my teaching
I worked as a sessional lecturer at ADFA for teaching 4th year Power Machines: a large combined class of
electrical and mechanical students and I won a Rector’s Commendations Teaching Award for Excellence in
Classroom Teaching. I made the significant contributions during my teaching.
I also designed 6 new 3-phase low power transformers using 18 single-phase transformers. Those 3-phase
transformers have now become very useful equipment in the engineering school which can be used for both
academic and research purposes and they are only rated at 100VA which should be less dangerous for
undergraduate students.
