CollegeGood teacher overall. Class was a decent amount of work, but Tsai is very friendly and easy to talk to. The content is kinda all over the place, not a very focused class. The grading system is really weird; the final is worth next to nothing. Lectures are technically optional, but you will be very confused and miss assignments if you dont go.
Professor Tsai is the kindest professor and will make accommodations if you're going through tough times. Unlike most professors, he is trying to prepare students for industry. He makes students give PowerPoint presentations for both project proposals and the projects themselves. I felt this course could've gone deeper into FEA (ie Vibrations).
Great professor and the class was super fun. Lots of weekly homework assignments, but part of it can be completed in lab every week. Though be ware, I ended up spending a lot of money on this class buying the online text and materials for projects.
Great professor who truly cares about his students
