Education

Master's degree, Mechanical Engineering
  • at Qatar University
  • December 2020

The Master of Science degree program in Mechanical Engineering at Qatar University is a research-intensive program, which offers a wide range of challenging and rewarding engineering experiences. The title of my thesis for my Master's was 'Crashworthiness Characteristics of GFRP Overwrapped PVC Composite Tubes.' As such most of the research work that I conducted during my Master's was focused on composite materials. This included experimental work to investigate the effects of fiber orientation angle, trigger mechanisms, and the inclusion of foam cores on the crashworthiness performance of composite tubes subjected to quasi-static axial compression. The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program is designed to enhance students' competencies in contributing to the existing body of knowledge, innovation, and the creation of new knowledge.

Bachelor's degree, Mechanical Engineering
  • at Qatar University
  • May 2015

This degree is ABET accredited and was quite comprehensive. The Mechanical Engineering Program stresses the role of mechanical engineers in planning and creating devices and systems. Emphasis is placed on the generation, conversion, transmission, and utilization of mechanical and thermal energy including the design, manufacturing, and operation of the related mechanical devices. This degree also assisted in refining my skills in communication, teamwork, and usage of computers and information technology. The degree instilled in its participants a belief that the mechanical engineer should strive both to serve the needs of society without unduly damaging the environment; and to produce devices and systems that use energy and material resources efficiently. For the courses covered please see my attached transcript. Throughout my time at QU, I consistently qualified for an academic scholarship and was on the Dean's List.
