Women in Engineering

Waterloo Dr. Al-Hammoud is a Faculty lecturer (Graduate Attributes) in the department of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Waterloo. Dr. Al-Hammoud has a passion for teaching where she con- tinuously seeks new technologies to involve students in their learning process. She is actively involved in the Ideas Clinic, a major experiential learning initiative at the University of Waterloo. She is also re- sponsible for developing a process and assessing graduate attributes at the department to target areas for improvement in the curriculum. This resulted in several publications in this educational research areas. Dr. Al-Hammoud won the ”Ameet and Meena Chakma award for exceptional teaching by a student

Unseen to most graduate and doctoral students,these tasks present an imposing reality to the beginning faculty member. Decisions at the beginning of a tenure-track appointment regarding the use of limited timecan have lasting effects on one’s professorial career.

The relationship, between faculty technical/professional currency and student learning, needs to be investigated in all engineering and technology programs. Especially for the upper-division classes in a 4-year Engineering Technology (ET) curriculum, I personally have been moving from the “sage on the stage” lecture model of ET courses to laboratory-based “Design/Prototype/Build” individual &/or team-based experiences.
