As part of the university teaching staff, I led courses, seminars and projects in disciplines like: „The Strength of Materials”, „Theory of Elasticity”, „Numerical Methods” and „Reticulated Structures”.
I coordinated the license diploma of 48 students (4 in the university year 1999-2000, 2 in the university year 2000-2001, 6 in the university year 2001-2002, 7 in the university year 2002-2003, 8 in the university year 2003-2004, 15 in the university year 2004-2005) and 6 in the university year 2005-2006). In the current university year (2006-2007) I coordinate the license diploma for another 10 students.
The students that were selected and prepared by me also came in 2nd, 3rd, 4th place at the „C. C. Teodorescu” National Students’ Contest of Strength of Materials, organized by the Technical University, Cluj-Napoca, between the 11th and the 13th of May, 2001. Another group of seven students received special prizes, the following years: three of them at the 2002 edition, organized by the University „Politehnica” Bucharest, between the 17th and the 19th of May 2002; one at the 2004 edition, organized by the University „Politehnica” Timişoara, between the 14h and the 16th of May 2004, two at the 2005 edition, organized by the „Petru Maior” University, Târgu-Mureş, between the 19th and the 21st of May, 2005 and another one at the 2006 edition, organized by the „Mircea cel Bătrân” Naval Academy, Constanţa, between the 19th and the 21st of May, 2006.
