Teaching
	My teaching experience extends for twenty-three years as a physics professor at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), one of the leading higher education institutions in the Middle East, where the language of instruction is English. My philosophy in teaching is to bring vibrant education to help them understand and enjoy the principles of physics, a longtime challenge for most science and engineering students. I have managed to cross the barrier between abstract physical concepts and their applications in real-life phenomena. Besides the traditional approach of classroom lecturing, this is accomplished through guiding the students to effective studying methods. I have placed emphasis on enhancing discipline, organization, and professionalism in my students, which has been achieved in a caring and loving atmosphere. Moreover, I have always stressed the importance of intuitive thinking as a prerequisite to solving any scientific problem. Enhancing the analytical capabilities of my students is another aspect I emphasize, as it enables the students to deal with practical situations in a systematic approach. I have taught physics courses from various undergraduate (UG) and graduate (G) levels, as follows: PHYS 101: General physics I (UG) PHYS 102: General physics II (UG) PHYS 203: Semiconductor devices (UG) PHYS 212: Modern physics (UG) PHYS 301: Classical mechanics (UG) PHYS 305: Electromagnetics I (UG) PHYS 306: Electromagnetics II (UG) PHYS 401: Quantum mechanics I (UG) PHYS 402: Quantum mechanics II (UG) PHYS 432: Solid state physics (UG) PHYS 497: Undergraduate Research I (UG) PHYS 507: Classical mechanics (G) PHYS 571: Advanced methods of theoretical physics (G)
