  • Osama SabirEau Claire

    Teaching has been an important part of my academic career. During my Ph.D. at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS in Malaysia, I served as a graduate/teaching assistant and taught and advised undergraduate and graduate students. My teaching included Numerical Methods, Computational Methods, Control Systems, Computer Aided Engineering, Internal Combustion Engine, Flow Assurance, Mechanical System Design, Mechanics of Machines, and Mechatronics. I also attended an advanced teaching seminar focused on teaching practice and course-design techniques. Earlier, while completing my master's degree at the University of Khartoum, I was also involved in teaching and supporting students in mathematics and engineering-related subjects.
