She teaches nine classes in mechanical engineering, which includes two service courses for industrial engineering. Dr. Lams area of expertise is vibration and control systems. Dr. Lam taught for twelve years at Cooper Union in the chemical engineering department immediately prior to joining RIT. Most of her teaching load was in mechanical engineering though, as well as all of her graduate students. On average, she taught three classes per semester and was active as faculty advisor to ASME, and also participated actively in the New York Metropolitan and Westchester sections of ASME. Prior to leaving Cooper Union, Dr. Lam had attained tenure and was promoted to associate professor.
