The reason students want to take Korakianitis' classes is that he brings in them what he has learned from his research and the research of his colleagues and competitors in these areas, thus encouraging critical thinking, analysis and synthesis in the specific topic. The material covered in his lectures comes from several books, from the research conducted by his research group, and from presentations of top researchers in the field at engineering conferences or from their publications in archival journals. Following the example of the universities he attended, the theoretical material is emphasized with diverse examples from engineering practice. The foremost responsibility of what we should call a University to the society that supports it is the quality of education it provides. In Korakianitis' opinion a pre-requisite for excellence in teaching is excellence in research on the same topic.
