Education

Bachelor's degree, Electrical and Electronics Engineering
  • at Swinburne University of Technology
  • October 2015

"The Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours) combines the fields of mathematics, science and technology to design, implement and manufacture electrical and electronic systems and devices. From the global positioning system that can continuously provide the location of a vehicle to the giant electric power generators, electrical and electronics engineers are responsible for a wide range of technologies. This course provides you with technical expertise in power system design, electronics, control systems, signal processing and embedded systems. You will become capable to apply your skills and understanding in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of electronics and electrical energy infrastructure, or use the course as a pathway into research or further learning.", Swinburne university website.

Diploma, Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology
  • at Jubail Industrial College
  • October 2007

while studying Instrumentation & Control tech. at JIC, I have learned the basics of what could be described as the art and science of measurement and control. Students ought to learn and work with instruments to do a variety of tasks such as measuring, recording and control a process variable. Variables like, but not limited to, level, flow, temperature and pressure that could be found in almost all oil and gas industries, chemical processing industry, food processing operations and power generation. It also involves designing, installing, troubleshoot and maintain a process as required. PLC was one of the most important courses to have learned how to program controller
