Teaching & Learning Statement

Dr Walid aims in teaching is to believe that success, whether personal or professional, is generated from three critical building blocks: knowledge, critical thinking, and curiosity. These building blocks have an enduring, cyclical relationship; knowledge helps us to understand the world around us as well as ourselves, critical thinking gives us the ability to incorporate knowledge and apply it endlessly, and curiosity, which is the result of realizing the limitations of current knowledge, drives us to acquire additional knowledge. I see my role as a teacher as one of transferring a fundamental knowledge of course content to students while cultivating their critical thinking skills through the application of theory and concepts to current industry-related issues.

Experience

Dr. Walid has over ten years of academic experience in Tunisia and Bahrain, as well as over five years of industrial experience in international companies such as SAGEM and ALBA. Moreover, he has published a lot of research in the fields of Finite Element Modeling and Analysis, System Modeling, Structural Analysis, Stress Analysis, Structural Dynamics, MATLAB Simulation, Automation & Robotics, Control Theory, etc.
