Statement of Teaching:

The academia is a passion and it’s not for everyone. Thus, the opportunities to enhance

and boost your teaching skills, working with students and developing your own

educational materials are the primary reasons for seeking an academic career.

I have dedicated much of my time since I have got my Bachelor degree in 1999 to

enhance and build my academic background and teaching experience. Over this period, I

have acquired extensive and comprehensive teaching experience starting from teaching

and supervising engineering laboratories, getting my Master of Science in electrical

engineering and till achieving my Philosophy of Doctorate in Communications and

Electronics engineering in 2006.

In 2004, I have got a scholarship from Philadelphia University to attain my PhD degree in

Communications and Electronics Engineering from De Montfort University (DMU) in

the United Kingdom. I have been employed by DMU as a part-time lecturer several times

during the period of getting my degree.

In 2007, I have granted my first academic title as an assistant professor from Philadelphia

University. From that’s date, my scholarly interests fall into the physical layer of the

mobile cellular systems in addition to the electronics based modifications. This is

specified as:

Page 18: Portfolio - philadelphia.edu.jo · 3- June 2017 ABET Accreditation Coordination Committee Member Responsibilities: 1. Preparing the Self-Study Report. 2. Continuously, checking the

PORTFOLIO

OFDM issues, which contain the synchronization in addition to the

PAPR.

MIMO systems performance

Coding techniques and their usage in the cellular systems.

Signal processing techniques; FT, Wavelet Discrete Transforms and Neural

Networks.

Electronics and Solar Diodes.

The collaborative authorship is one of the main issues that I am trying to spread and to

reflect using my teaching philosophy; thus, I encouraging the student-centered teaching

instead of the "full frontal teaching" method in addition to make the class as a

community. This means that in both composition and literature classes, I have students

spend a fair amount of time in smaller groups in which they not only talk and think

together, but write together. During the last five years I have taught around 16 different

courses starting from the basics in engineering to specialized topics.

Teaching Philosophy:

It is obvious that the student who is interested in a subject will become a creative.

However, not every student has this state of mind. Therefore, a huge responsibility will

be burden on the teacher’s shoulders to change the mood of these students and present the

subject in a simple and interesting manner.

Also, one of the important things in teaching the introductory courses is to show them

how to approach the subject. Moreover, emphasizing the topics is crucial in higher-level

courses, thus the students will learn the real meaning of planning, design, and work as a

team. Finally, the ability to intelligently and objectively critique the work of others is a

necessary pioneer to being able to accurately evaluate one’s own work.

Teaching Style:

To have a successful teaching process, the principle of teaching style should be divided

into the following:

Grading policies:

Fair and clear policies should be declared. This will help them to focus on how will

receive a good grade.

Goals:

First policy to be set is clear and realistic goals since that the challenging and

achievable goals initiate the students fast response. This will enhance the students’

accomplishment sense and do not make them either feel boring or frustrate them.

Misconceptions:

It is important to identify and fix misconceptions early, since you will experience

difficulties when they take root.

The vital factor; the students:

Page 19: Portfolio - philadelphia.edu.jo · 3- June 2017 ABET Accreditation Coordination Committee Member Responsibilities: 1. Preparing the Self-Study Report. 2. Continuously, checking the

PORTFOLIO

Students should be involved in the teaching process. They must have the passion to

learn; be active rather than passive observers. They understand firmly from what

doesn’t work as learning what does. Rather than memorizing the correct answers, they

should be encouraged to learn from their mistakes and why the incorrect answer is

wrong.

Furthermore, interests and needs of each student should be respected. This will help

them in achieving their goals. This is due to different background and level of

preparation for them. Student engagement is useful especially after any major idea.

This could be attained by unmarked quizzes to engage them and identify any

misconception. Moreover, it’s a marker to show how well I am in explaining the

material and holding the students attention. Sometimes, it is useful to get their

feedback using a short questionnaire even once a semester. Therefore, the engagement

is a crucial element during the class.

Inclusive Education: In relation to students, the issue of equity is considered as a major force internationally.

Thus, I am trying to spread and to reflect using my teaching philosophy; thus, I

encouraging the student-centered teaching instead of the "full frontal teaching" method in

addition to make the class as a community. This means that in both composition and

literature classes, students spend a fair amount of time in smaller groups in which they

not only talk and think together, but write together. Students should be involved in the

teaching process. They must have the passion to learn; be active rather than passive

observers. They understand firmly from what doesn’t work as learning what does. Rather

than memorizing the correct answers, they should be encouraged to learn from their

mistakes and why the incorrect answer is wrong.

During the last years I have taught around 16 different courses starting from the basics in

engineering to specialized topics. Furthermore, interests and needs of each student should

be respected. This will help them in achieving their goals. This is due to different

background and level of preparation for them. Student engagement is useful especially

identify any misconception. Moreover, it’s a marker to show how well I am in explaining

the material and holding the students attention. Sometimes, it is useful to get their

feedback using a short questionnaire even once a semester. Therefore, nevertheless the

background of the students, their engagement is a crucial element during the class.

Statement of Research: My scholarly interests fall into the physical layer of the mobile cellular systems, which

cover the followings:

OFDM issues, which contain the synchronization in addition to the PAPR.

MIMO systems performance

Coding techniques and their usage in the cellular systems.

Signal processing techniques; FT, Wavelet Discrete Transforms and

Neural Networks.

Solar Diodes.

During the last years, I have been funded for completing three research projects. A

project entitled “Energy Consumption Efficiency Management (ECEM)” has been

funded by the European Union under the umbrella of the SRTD-II and collaborated with

the University of Salford and the University of Strathclyde-UK in the period between

2015 and 2017. This project was aimed to

Design a smart wireless sensor and actuator network (SWSAN) for remote

energy consumption monitoring and energy management

Test and deploy the developed platform into three faculties’ buildings in

addition to the presidency building;

Quantify energy saving potential and provide recommendation for energy

savings and retrofit solutions

Establish coherent and efficient research and development cluster in order to

perform high-quality research and development in the field of energy

monitoring and management.

The second one was funded by the deanship of academic research and graduate studies

between 2014 and 2016. It has been funded in order to

Study the interactions between large scale projects such as five stars hotels,

nowhere large companies or sensitive military locations, and Smart Grids

through the creation of energy models, advanced communications and digital

signal processing.

Developing integrated-communications-infrastructure-spanning large scale

projects and the provision for scalable data management to find the optimum

manor to consume the limited power source or to decrease the combustion of

the available power source till the optimum level.

Review large scale projects technologies such as the Smart Large projects

concept, laboratory test Smart large scale projects sensors, communications

and automation features.

Characterize the relationships between household energy service needs,

home-based ICT applications and people through empirical studies and

development of appliance energy models; in fact, we can even apply all these

features over the main energy source for such large projects that contain all

these clients.

Understand user behavior w.r.t energy usage and design optimal energy

feedback mechanisms that stimulate energy saving, and then develop and

evaluate a low-cost wireless sensing and limited area networking platform

based on machine-to-machine (M2M) communications that enables

information exchange between home appliances and autonomous demand

response functionalities. This allows us to save the energy even in the

communication system besides the combusted energy in the daily life or

functions.

The third project is entitled by “Free-Licensed Band Jammer Project” and has been

funded by both of the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB);

which is an independent government entity within the Jordan Armed Forces (JAF) that
