Service

 

I believe that service is a great opportunity for professors to effectively share their disciplinary expertise and professional experiences. At the University level, I have been assigned leadership roles in the following key services:

  • Assessment

  • Department Chair

  • Laboratory Designs and Setups

  • Recruitment

  • Program Development and Review

  • Programmatic Accreditation

  • Institutional Effectiveness

  • Institutional Accreditation

  • Internal Reviews

  • External Consultancies

Key servicing positions:

  • Chairperson of the Computer Engineering Department at the AUK

  • Program lead of Computer Engineering at the AUK

  • Chairperson of the ABET Computer Engineering Steering Committee at the AUK

  • Member of the ABET Computer Science and Information Systems Steering Committee at the AUK

  • Chairperson of the University Curriculum Committee at the AUK

  • Member of the College Assessment Committee at the AUK

  • Chairperson of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at DU

  • Member of the University Council - the supreme administrative committee and the executive body of the University's governance system at DU

  • Member of the Institutional Accreditation Steering Committee at DU

  • Co-chair of the Institutional Accreditation Sub-committee for Student Support Services at DU

  • Chairperson of the University Ad-hoc Committee for IT Review at DU

     

Since September 2010, I have been leading the Computer Engineering program at the AUK towards its ABET accreditation. To aid the preparations for ABET accreditation, I have completed my certification in Excellence in Assessment Leadership from ABET in August 2011, Baltimore, USA.

 

As an academician and an engineer, I have been involved in a variety of professional services. My activities have included consultancies, services to international conferences and journals,  workshops, invited talks, services to professional societies, etc.

 

I have been constantly serving on International Program Committees of international conferences including the following:

I have been invited to give several technical talks and seminars. The topics were mainly in computer engineering with focus on hardware/software co-design.

 

A bit away from my home area, I have carefully developed and conducted three workshops on Giving an Effective Talk, Modern Strategic Planning for Small/Medium-sized Departments, and Building Self-Confidence. The workshops have provided me with a great opportunity of communication with people from different backgrounds and disciplines.
