All praise be to almighty God, the challenge accepted. I've taken a visiting/part-time #Lecturer position at the #University of #Bahrain #UoB, #Civil Engineering Department, Geotechnical #Engineering Field. I hope to meet and exceed the university and my students' expectations. Finally, and again, I will try my best to convey the passion of #Geotechnical to the new generation. I would like to thank my company as well who allowed and encouraged me to do so.
