Total years of experience :3 years, 9 Months
• Reviewed literature and conducted technical presentations on the additive manufacturing of nickel-based superalloys.
• Underwent training on a scanning electron microscope to analyze the microstructure for Inconel 718 samples.
• Identified the main phases present in additively manufactured Inconel 718, and looked at heat treatments that can be used to optimize according to the desired mechanical properties.
• Additionally, completed Master's level courses on the Additive and Subtractive Processes in Custom Manufacturing, Advanced Product Design, and Advanced Computer-Aided Engineering.
• Assessed the functionality of mechanical parts in the design of a smart toy train.
• 3D printed and evaluated several versions of specific parts to improve the performance of the final design.
• Created detailed SOLIDWORKS assemblies of an alternative design that addressed deficiencies in the existing design and integrated parts from a Turtlebot3.
• Main duties were assisting in laboratory sessions, teaching tutorials, and grading assignments.
• Courses taught were:
- Engineering Graphics: focused on teaching the use of AutoCAD for orthographic, isometric, and sectioned views of engineering parts, as well as an introduction to SOLIDWORKS.
- Corrosion Engineering: responsible for preparing samples, equipment, and chemicals needed for corrosion experiments, as well as conducting lab sessions for students.
- Statics: assisted with explaining the solutions for tutorial problems and marking assignments.
• New Employee Safety Training (NEST).
• Schlumberger Injury Prevention Program (SIPP).
• H2S Training.
• Learned about the various aspects of work performed in the Wireline segment.
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.
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.
