TEACHING

COURSES TAUGHT AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY

Undergraduate-level:

Structure and Function of Cities and Regions/ Urban Form & City Planning/Structure and

Function of Urban Settlements (new preparation). This course introduces students to urban

spatial structure and function, its evolution over time, and forces that influence change. It

covers theories of urban expansion, history of urbanization and suburbanization in the

United States, and local and global forces that shape urban structure.

Plan/Policy Implementation (new course developed). This course introduces students to

techniques for implementing plans. It covers the legal aspects of plan implementation

including conventional zoning, alternatives to zoning (i.e. form-based codes), subdivision

ordinances, and other codes, and then discusses the basics of public finance, budgeting,

fiscal impact assessment, and the traditional and alternative tools for financing plan

implementation.

Graduate-level:

Structure and Function of Urban Settlements/ Structure and Function of Cities (new

preparation). This course introduces students to forces that originated and shaped urban

areas. It helps students to understand what a city is, how cities work, why and how cities

evolve. It covers in-depth examination of transportation and urban form, urban sprawl,

economy and urban form, and discussions on cities for a sustainable future.

Hazard Mitigation and Disaster Recovery (new preparation). This seminar course focuses

on practical and theoretical issues of hazard mitigation and disaster recovery. It covers

disaster recovery at household, business establishment, and community levels. It also covers

various approaches to hazard mitigation, including community protection works, building

practices, land use planning, and insurance. Students also take field trips to communities

recently struck by natural disasters to understand the complexities and challenges of disaster

recovery and hazard mitigation.

Special Topics in Regional Economic Development (new course developed). This course

introduces students to the fundamental theories about state and local economic growth and

provide students with a toolbox of strategies and policies. This course introduces students to

various state and local economic development theories and traditional and innovative

economic development strategies.

Directed Study on Economic Vulnerability and Resiliency (new course developed). Through

this directed study, students review journal articles, book chapters, and other scholarly

publications on the definitions of vulnerability and resiliency by various disciplines (i.e.,

ecology, sociology, and economics), the factors that affect economic vulnerability and

resiliency, and research designs to study vulnerability and resiliency.

Directed Study on Sustainable Economic Development (new course developed). Through

this directed study, students review scholarly publications on the definitions of sustainable

development and sustainable economic development, factors that affect economic

sustainability, and theoretical framework to study sustainable economic development.
