Teaching Experience:
Technion, Haifa, Israel (1979-82)
Theory of Vibration
Stability of Structures
Probabilistic Methods in the Theory of Structures
Aeronautical Laboratories (Three different courses)
These courses were taught when V. Birman was an Instructor at the Department of Aeronautical Engineering and worked on his Ph.D. thesis. Dr. Birman taught Aeronautical Laboratories without any participation of senior faculty. Three other courses were arranged so that a senior faculty taught theoretical material (one meeting a week) and V. Birman taught practical exercises (one meeting a week). All courses listed above were undergraduate.
University of New Orleans (1984-88)
Theory of Vibration
