Professional Objective(s):

The objectives are divided into teaching and research aims. The teaching objectives: Convey knowledge in simple way,

motivate students to engage in lecture and improve their thinking abilities. My main goals are to have the students learn the

following issues:

a. The fundamentals of a courses, the principle of operations as well as governing equations.

b. How and when to apply these equations.

c. Why we are learning all that.

Enhance the thinking capabilities of students. The following ways might be stated:

1. Convincing the student that what they are learning in the class is vital for them. I usually deal with it by

demonstrating daily life examples and providing them examples from my own experience, ending with a final

short-term project, in which students need to solve or improve a mechanical engineering situations they may

notice around them. These situations can be solved by using the knowledge attained in the class or by

recommending simulations-software tools.

2. Giving liability to the students to bring something to the class and to feel that they belong to a small community

(the class group) and therefore they will be responsible for each other. I manage this issue by asking the students

to take turns to solve problems on the board and ask other students to interact and to give feedback.

3. The content of the class should not be the only variable parameter. I typically cope with it by bringing something

new to each class. Presenting slides prepared by PowerPoint enriched with images and animations which make

complicated matters easy to understand, displaying posters including most recent researches related to the theme

of the day or as a theme for a promising final project and inviting guest researchers from local and/or abroad

industry. I do my best to fulfil these three examples, as I believe that they assist for more creativity, improving way

of thinking and discovery which are very crucial skills for engineers.

In graduate classes I greatly focus into creativity and discovery by exciting curiosity when presenting problems.

Discovering new minds and cultures as well as learning to understand/tolerate other person’s opinions, which are becoming

increasingly desired by companies, are qualities that distinguish my students. I hope to offer the students the chance to learn

not only the theory of mechanical engineering and skills of solving problems, but also that around them there is much to

learn as well.

The research aims: I hope that I can encourage my students to publish remarkable papers and industrial projects. For

instance, the significant contribution I have made in the field of combustion, particularly, in porous media burners (PMBs)

and in laser-induced phosphorescence (LIP) technique which was conducted in Chair of Technical Thermodynamics, Lehrstuhl

für Technische Thermodynamik (LTT), at Erlangen, Germany. The published paper showed that I was the first who proved that

temperature calibrations using a new LIP up to 2073 K are possible and I was the first in applying the new LIP technique for

measuring the PMB surface temperatures. Also, I worked for one year in FMP Technology GmbH, Germany incorporation

with TSE TROLLER-Coating Secret, Switzerland and I carried out 12 distinguish industrial projects. Furthermore, during my

master study, I performed a joint project in the field of power stations offered by Sultan Qaboos University, Oman and

Aachen University, Germany in collaboration with the University of Jordan. In addition, I have investigated in my Master and

Bachelor studies many short-term projects in different fields of interest.
