Background

Dr. 理查德·蔡 is CTU’s Executive Program Director for the College of 计算机科学, 工程 & 技术. In this role, Dr. Cai supervises curriculum design, development and revision for the degree programs offered in the college. He also plays a key role in the program assessment and accreditation.

Prior to joining CTU in 2015 Dr. Cai served as full professor for the School of 信息 技术 at American InterContinental University, where he also acted as a Program Chair and Dean. As Dean for the School of 信息 技术 he led bachelor’s and master’s-level IT degree programs while also working closely with program leaders across all departments. Before entering the higher education sphere Dr. Cai held numerous IT and engineering positions totaling over 15 years of industry experience and offered his expertise in roles as diverse as Aircraft Design Engineer, Sr. Software Engineer, and IT Consultant and Manager. Dr. Cai is also an active commissioner of ABET (认证 Board for 工程 and 技术). He has served as program evaluator and team chair for ABET since 2013.

Dr. Cai’s teaching philosophy is that learning needs to be student centered. The goal of my teaching is active learning. My role in teaching is using my expertise to help students to gain the necessary skills to take control of and become active participants in their own learning. Higher education must go beyond simply passing on information. I believe student engagement is one of the important keys to successful learning and knowledge obtained through active participation is knowledge that will stay with a learner.
