EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Teaching Statement
My Teaching Philosophy
Eager to transfer knowledge and experience to students and bring them
into the twenty-first century using a unique combination of education
experience coupled with three years' industry background in computer
systems management and administration.
I believe that teaching is much more than presenting information in a
convenient format and completing a textbook with the students. Certainly,
presenting material clearly and creatively is an expected goal of a faculty
member, but I feel it is equally important to inspire students to solve
problems independently and to help them stop and evaluate the potential
consequences of their solutions and recommendations on society. Thus, I
encourage student response in the form of brainstorming and analysis to
foster growth as well as the acquisition of information that they are
studying. Helping students to be creative and self reliant is one of the
most rewarding aspects of teaching at the university level.
I believe the ideal teacher strives to leave students wishing to continue
learning more about the subject after the final class, rather than having
students feel relieved that the course is finished. Therefore, I endeavor
to treat students with respect, and maintain a two-way relationship that
leaves students free to ask questions in class and during office visits.
I also believe in the effectiveness of group work in most of my classes,
where students can engage in thoughtful discussion. This human interaction
stimulates the cooperative environment in which engineers must often
function on a daily basis. Most of the group projects I assign culminate in
a written or oral presentation so that communication skills can be
practiced while information is shared with the rest of the class. My Teaching Experience
In my teaching career, I have taught nine different undergraduate
courses, four different labs and two graduate courses EE562 & EE599. I have
developed the material for the graduate course EE562 "Digital Signal
Processing I" and taught the course.
I see my responsibility as a faculty member in the broadest sense. I
have started developing a signal processing lab. The lab will stimulate
students' interest in the area of signal processing & help them acquire
skills in the design & development of many useful applications. It is
equipped with one of the most recent compact vision systems. It will help
both researchers in the field and senior project students. It can also
serve as an initiation of new students to attract them to the signal
processing area of specialization.
Since the introduction of WebCT at KFUPM and Blackboard, I participated
in utilizing WebCT for three years and continue until present time with
Blackboard for all my courses. I participated in the design and development
of two online courses: EE205 "Electrical Circuit II and EE204 "Electrical
Circuit Fundamentals". The WebCT (Blackboard) is a web based tools which
allows students to obtain information and materials related to their
courses, and at the same time it is used for communication between the
instructors and students.
I offered about 20 senior Capstone Projects during the past 10 years in the
areas of Digital Circuits, Pattern Recognition, and Electronics. Some of
these projects were built as prototypes and presented in many student
activities such open days and career days such as the bilingual message
board. Also, I participated in the introduction of EE Department to High
School students in few occasions. I supervised many Coop students in different companies where they get
exposed to the working environment and gain experience. Most of the time,
the students also secure a position after graduation in that company, if
they are well advised and if they prove themselves through diff
