The emphasis of his master’s dissertation was on a finite element analysis of a solder joint under thermal loading. Dr. Saad received his PhD from Washington State University in Pullman, WA. His research focused on the energy dissipation function of an abrasive water jet cutting through steel. In addition to this, Dr. Saad has taught a vast number of engineering classes at many institutions and is currently teaching, among other classes, Statics, Strength of Materials, Dynamics and Senior Capstone at Eastern Washington University.

The three goals of the project support each other in hierarchical fashion:research informs faculty practice, faculty determine the students’ experience, which, if wellmanaged based on research findings, equips students to work in teams. Our strategies forachieving these goals are based on a well-accepted training model that has five elements:information, demonstration, practice, feedback, and remediation.Different outcomes are expected for each group of people. For the students, both individualoutcomes, such as student learning, and team outcomes, such as the development of sharedmental models, are expected.

In addition, the apparatus designed by companies specializing in educationequipment may not exactly reflect the educational objective intended by the faculty. Theseobstacles had forced us to seek and search different venues to acquire experimental laboratoryapparatus for demonstrating heat transfer principles. We concluded that such an apparatus can bedesigned, developed and constructed “in house” within a manageable budget.
