7.2 Course Coordination
I had coordinated a number of EE courses in circuits and power systems. Chief among them are
1. EE 204
2. EE 360
3. EE 460
4. EE 463
5. EE 466
The coordination involves the preparation of course outline, assignments, laboratory, and examinations.
7.3 Coop Supervision
I have been an active supervisor of coop students over the years. My average supervision load is 4 students per semester. This is well above the average load of EE faculty. This is especially true in the last five years. The increase in the number of EE students is a factor. But the major factor is attributed to the fact that most of the students take their coop programs with companies in the area of electrical power systems such SCECO, Saudi Aramco and some of SABIC affiliates.
7.4 Summer Training
My supervision load is approximately 3-4 students per summer. This is about the departmental average load. In this category, the students are distributed evenly.
7.5 Senior and Capstone Projects
I used to supervise and advise about 3-4 students per semester during the era of individual senior project. This was changed following the ABET evaluation where the group work and the design aspects. Consequently I limited my advice to one group (4 students) per semester. In 1997-98, I served as one of the course instructors. This involves teaching and supervising the student groups on how to conduct a capstone project. I am advising and co-advising two capstone projects this semester.
7.6 Course Development
a The EE department had over the years revised its undergraduate and graduate programs several times. I actively participated in. these revisions. Specifically, I proposed and provided the description of a number of courses in the area of power system. These include, but not limited to, the following courses:
· EE 623 HVDC Transmission
· EE 629 Power Electronics
· EE 525 Power System Transients
· EE 526 Analysis of Energy Systems
· EE 466 Power System Protection
· EE 460 Power Electronics
· EE 461 Advanced Power Electronics
· EE 465 Power Transmission & Distribution
Two courses warrant special mention and illustration
b. EE 460 Power Electronics
This course was introduced in the late 1980’s. It was dormant until I activated this course after returning from Sabbatical leave. During that period I took an advanced power electronic course. I have contributed extensively towards the development of EE 460. I taught this course many times. Although the subject of power electronics lies just outside my area of interest, I developed the course material, and laboratory experiments literally from scratch. I introduced the use of the software Pspice within the course and gave a number of projects to the students.
c. EE 466 Power System Protection
This course was introduced in 1994 and I have taught the course many times since then. I have developed the course material and designed its layout. The course projects are typical industrial systems.
7.7 Laboratory Development
I have been involved in the development of EE 360 and EE 460 laboratories. I have initiated the purchase and acquisition of many laboratory equipment and components. I have written laboratory manuals and experiments.
7.8 Software Acquisition and Installation
This year I assisted the EE department in the acquisition of two industry known software programs. These are Electric Transient Analysis Program (ETAP), and Electric Distributions System Analysis (EDSA). EDSA was offered to the department at no cost following my enquires and contacts. Both programs are used by the power engineering industry. The objective is to train our graduates in the use of known software that will increase their competitiveness and readiness for the job market. The software can be used also for short courses
7.9 Student Advising
I had received the Best Academic Advisor Award, College of Applied Engineering, 1992
7.10 Seminars
Presented the following seminars to the EE department
1. The role of HVDC Transmission in Power Systems.1979
2. Control of High Voltage DC Links in Power Systems.1982
3. Harmonics Signals in Power Systems, 1987
4. Fast Decoupled Harmonic Load flow Method, March 1989.
5. The effects of DC Load Transients on the Distortion of AC Currents and Capacitor Over voltages, May, 1992.
8. Short Course Teaching and Evaluation
I have been involved in teaching and coordinating a number of short courses over the last years. Some of the courses were closed and some were open for the engineering community at large.
Short course evaluation is provided for a number of recently taught and coordinated courses.
Term / Hours Taught / Course Title / Partic. / My Evalua. / Course Evalua. / Role992 / 12 / Power System Analysis / 8 / 4.44 / 3.79 / T&C

912 / 4 / Electrical Engineering for Non-EE / 15 / NA / NA / teach
912 / 6 / Power System Protection / 15 / 3 /4 / NA / teach
In Addition to the above courses, I coordinated and lectured in the following courses:
1. High Voltage Direct Current Systems in Cooperation with ASEA (Sweden) ,
11-15 March, 1984.
2. Power System Analysis, 1-5 November, 1986.
Lectured in the following courses:
1. Power System Analysis and Control, 1981
2. Power System Planning 1986
3. Industrial Power System 1989
There is no evaluation data for the above courses. This is because the short course evaluation process did not start then.
