Dr. Victoria Wumi Oguntosin is a lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering at Covenant University, Nigeria. She holds a Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering from the University of Reading, UK, and specializes in robotics, automation, and AI, with a strong focus on assistive and rehabilitation robotics. After her MIT-ETT fellowship, she introduced comprehensive course planning and interactive teaching methods in her classes. She prepares detailed “First Day” course packages outlining clear objectives, weekly lesson plans, hands-on projects, and problem sets aligned with learning outcomes. Dr. Oguntosin also enriches her lectures with live demonstrations and simulation tools, and incorporates higher-order problem-solving tasks (using Bloom’s taxonomy) into assessments to push students beyond rote learning. In parallel, she continues her research in AI-driven robotics and has been recognized through programs like the Women for Africa Foundation’s postdoctoral fellowship. By refining her teaching and championing diversity in STEM, she is producing more engaged, innovative graduates and inspiring young women to pursue engineering.
