Dr. Mohammad A. Aliedeh Bio

Dr. Aliedeh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Mutah University, Karak, Jordan. He is now in sabbatical leave in Chemical Engineering Department, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM.

Dr. Aliedeh earned his Ph.D. from New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, USA, and his undergraduate and Master studies from Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), Irbid, Jordan. Dr. Aliedeh worked as an operation engineer for Jordan Sulphochemical Company, Zarqa, Jordan.

His basic research interests include Multi-phase Flow, Turbulence Modeling, Heat Transfer, Phosphogypsum Recycling Process, and Engineering Education. He published numerous research papers in those fields in international journals. The added value of his basic research is manifested in by achieving two shifts in Phosphogypsum conventional research: (1) Shifting from lab scale to the pilot plant scale and (2) Shifting from one variable at a time (OVAAT) to factorial design research methodology.

The courageous attempt to shift our PG conventional research from lab scale to the pilot plant scale was the most challenging research approach shift. As a part of his parallel research in Higher Education Reform, Dr. Aliedeh has developed and published a new Educational Reform Approach that is called Transparent Thinking Approach (TTA). TTA is a newly developed value-engrained and thinking based educational reform approach. It is generic and unique features enable it to easily diffuse in all domains.

The real “fruits” of this new approach will be “tasted” by “feeling” the innovative TTA created harmony between depth, meaningfulness, connectedness and simplicity which is reflected in the practical application of TTA concepts, tools, perspectives. TTA solution frameworks, models and tools are expected to give products. TTA products are simply a result of putting TTA Generic Tools into production.

Abstract

Abstract

Transparent Thinking Approach Solution Factory (TTASF) is based on transforming Silo, Fragmented and Carousel Effect Thinking individual to TTA Thinker who is equipped with Genefic (Generic and Specific) Thinking Toolbox. TTASF is a reform approach that germinate from transparency perspective to breed 42 different thinking perspective and sustainability as an important thinking perspective. These thinking perspectives are integrated with modelling tools to represent reality and maneuvering tools to dynamically move between these perspectives and modelling tools.

Integration is the most prominent characteristic of TTASF. TTASF, as a widely applicable reform approach to encompass the whole life, is germinated from one simple thinking perspective which is transparency (Transparization vs. Opaquaization). TTASF is considered a continuum of concepts, tools, frameworks, concepts, perspectives, ...etc. that can diffuse in all scales, fields, topics, .... and areas. TTASF conceptual continuum can be easily expanded to accommodate society as a continuum of individuals, economy as a continuum of needs and requirements, and environment as a continuum of matter and energy to incubate both social and economic continua.

TTASF is considered an innovative reform approach because it has the characteristics: (1) Germinated from single perspective (transparency) by has grown to accommodate 42 different perspectives in one continuum. (2) These TTASF perspectives were merged with modelling and maneuvering tools to build an integrated Genefic Thinking Toolbox. (3) TTASF can easily diffuse in all fields and is considered as a development reform approach. (4) Maneuvering tools are a unique characteristic of TTASF conceptual continuum that gives the TTASF thinker to innovate by dynamically and freely move in all fields, scales and domains.
