Teaching Philosophy

I believe in a hands-on approach to engineering education that bridges theory and practice. My goal is to equip students with not just technical knowledge, but also problem-solving skills and the ability to create meaningful solutions for real-world challenges.

I emphasize project-based learning, encouraging students to work on problems relevant to our local context while maintaining global standards of excellence. This approach has proven effective in preparing graduates who are both technically competent and socially aware.
