• On the University level, I was a permanent member in the Academic Development Center Committee. In this Committee the members (four members) work as fellows to the Center. We drafted the guidelines for the academic development activities such as: the internal assessments of academic programs and curricula development, peer consultation and microteaching programs, teaching portfolio, organizing workshops and forums relevant to the enhancement of teaching and learning at KFUPM and others. I also served actively in a University committee on a project for developing multimedia about KFUPM in which, a CD on the KFUPM was produced. I chaired and actively engaged in preparing a program on “ Diploma in Chemical Technology” to be offered among other University evening diploma programs.
