• I am actively involved in the supervision of
the work requested by various governmental and private agencies that
relates to sample analysis or tests on crude oil and oil products
performed in the service analytical laboratories and the Oil Testing
Center.
• I participated in writing books to the Saudi
Ministry of Education for the Applied Chemistry curriculum of the
Developed Secondary Education Program and the Ministry of Education in
Jordan.

Committee Work
Over the years of my service at KFUPM, I participated in almost all the
Departmental standing committees as well as a significant number of
standing and ad hoc departmental, college and University committees.
• Among the Departmental committees, I chaired the Curriculum Committee,
Information committee, Guest speakers committee, Revision of chemistry
and industrial chemistry curricula committee, Reviewing methods of
testing freshman chemistry students in American universities committee,
A committee on specific recommendations for freshman chemistry exams at
KFUPM.
• On the College level, I participated in few committees, among them a
committee on “Introduction of an Educational Diploma in the College of
Sciences” in which I made significant efforts with the other colleagues,
Community services and promoting the College of Sciences Committees
• 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.
• I also served in few KFUPM promotion committees.
