Tell us about yourself.

I am an electrical engineer graduated on May 6, 2010, from Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ).

As a person I am self-motivated. I was able to finish my undergraduate on a good academic standing because of being self-motivated. Because of self motivation, I am now self-learning a few new materials: Arabic (main focus on speaking and listening), and Adobe Dreamweaver (I want to learn making websites using Dreamweaver).

Whenever a task is assigned to me, I first do my own research on it, try to figure it out myself, identify the points that I do not understand, and then make a list of specific questions. Only after that I would approach my supervisor. This is the approach I have followed in all the engineering projects I did.

Being well aware of the fact that there will be a huge difference between the theoretical and the practical world of engineering, I have always emphasized on two learning principles as an engineering student: understanding the engineering concepts taught in classes clear to the extent that I should be able to (i) explain those concepts to others and, (ii) understand if any data obtained through an experiment or a measurement make sense by interpreting the physical meaning of the data. My rigorous focus on learning principle (i) not only helped me to earn A’s in majority of the courses but also built a confidence within myself that is essential to successfully apply the knowledge in real world applications.

The learning principle (ii) was also important to me, because most people can do the math. For example, the differentiation of x^2 is 2x. However, it is the job of the engineer to interpret that data in terms of physical events like velocity, rate of change etc. I have valued this ability to interpret the physical meaning of data very highly and therefore have always tried to relate numbers with physical meanings whenever I have solved problems.

I am good in presenting, given that I have time to prepare. I have made the best presentation in our senior year design project competition. Dr. Shehab Ahmed, my senior year design project supervisor, can attest to it.

You can rely on me. I worked three years in TAMUQ library and Ms. Carole Thompson, the library director, described me as one of the most reliable student workers.

Since I am an electrical engineer, I am committed to IEEE Code of Ethics. As an Aggie engineer, I am also committed to uphold the honor code "An Aggie does not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do" for the rest of my life. I highly regard the values that Aggie culture instilled in  me: honesty, integrity, self-esteem, commitment, patriotism, character, leadership, unity, and public services.

So, combined all these I think I can be an asset for your company.
