Many adjectives describe him as an educator: Versatile (in seven years, he has taught six different courses at all levels). Beloved (student ratings of his teaching are well above the department average\u2014even, at times, close to perfect). Dedicated (when he inherited a poorly executed course, he transformed it with engaging, relevant content that makes good use of students&#8217; time and builds their understanding and confidence in problem-solving). Informed (his year-long participation in the <a href=\"https:\/\/mtle.wisc.edu\/\">Madison Teaching and Learning Excellence program<\/a> has provided a foundation of best practices). Collaborative (he shares time and materials that help other faculty easily teach that same course). Committed (for other courses, he created comprehensive, informative lecture notes full of examples and animations and, during a shift to online learning, he recorded lectures, and held online discussions and office hours). Inclusive (he fosters a positive climate, is an enthusiastic mentor, advocates for student opportunities, and leads conversations about creating and maintaining a diverse, welcoming community).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, as an assistant professor\u2014who just recently achieved tenure\u2014 San Miguel already has made long-lasting contributions to the computer engineering curriculum and, as a result, to the education and overall experience of our students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 13, 2025, Dean Ian Robertson held an event to recognize engineering faculty and staff for outstanding contributions.
