Engineering Skills
I delivered these courses to both on-campus students and off-campus students on a flexible
delivery basis. I delivered a project-based-learning (PBL) unit in Power System Analysis to
the third-year students, and also facilitated the learning of first-year students using PBL
methodology in the courses Engineering Skills I and II.
Teaching – Earlier Experiences
At Monash University, the Malaysian Campus (in 2002),
I coordinated and taught electrical engineering subjects, specifically,
 Electrical Energy Conversion,
 Signals and Systems,
 Electrical Machines and Power Electronics

(ii) Active member in Accreditation of ECE Programs
 Active member of the ECE Department’s Accreditation, Curriculum, and Timetabling
(ACTC) Committee during 2011-2013 period,
 Voluntarily added several components for outcome assessments in my courses.

A ‘design work’ in the course ECCE5302 Power System Protection to assess ‘Outcome c’
(c2: implement the design, c3: evaluate the design). Another assignment was developed to
assess outcomes ‘e’ and ‘i' in the same course (in different semesters’ (e1: Identify an
engineering problem, e2: Identify the variables in a given engineering problem, i1: Develop
a learning plan).

In the course ECCE4316 Power System Analysis II, and also in several Final-Year Projects
(FYP), I also evaluated the student outcome d (d2: contribute to the team project/work, d3:
value other team members contributions). Furthermore, I added a piece of assignment in
Power System Analysis II, which made students use statistics in solving an engineering
problem (which was an attempt to improve in an area related to a comment by ABET
reviewers).

I am continuing the work for next cycles of accreditation by chairing the Curriculum
Review and Program Development Committee, and by being a member of
Accreditation Committee.
(iii) New Course or Laboratory Developments
At Sultan Qaboos University:
 Smart Grid (the first course in smart grid, which was developed and offered in
Oman, SQU, Spring 2015).

The development of this course was the result of research-teaching nexus, as I was involved
with a research project in the area of smart grids from 2013 to 2015.
 Power System Control and Stability (B.Sc. Level, developed and offered in 2012)
(the whole material was developed, although the title and course description existed).
 Power System Stability and Control (M.Sc. Level, developed in 2013 and revised in
Summer 2015, offered in Fall 2014 and Fall 2015) (the whole material was developed,
although the title and course description existed).
Page 3 of 37
 Power System Protection (B.Sc. level, 2012 to 2014)

(Major modification to the course material and laboratories): This course was not closely in
my area of expertise, but I accepted to teach it as there was no other faculty member in this
field. During three years that I was teaching this course, I changed the teaching material
completely and developed a new software-based laboratory which used a professional
software, ‘PowerFactory DIgSILENT’. This software is used by several electricity
companies in Oman.
At Swinburne University, Australia:
I established,
 a software-based power system laboratory,
 a hardware-based wind energy systems laboratory,
 and renovated the electrical machines laboratory.
At Central Queensland University, Australia,
I developed the following courses.
 Power System Analysis using Project-Based Learning
 Modelling and Analysis of Power Systems
 Protection and Stability of Power Systems

I established a Power System Laboratory, which gave students access to commercial software
packages used in power utility companies, during 2007 and 2008. This laboratory was used
for the delivery of the PBL course in power system analysis.
At Monash University, Malaysia:
I developed laboratories in the area of electrical engineering, particularly, the laboratory
for electrical machines, power electronics and automatic control using programmable logic
controllers (PLC) [Monash University was in the initial stage of developing its international
engineering programs in Malaysia in 2002, when I was working there].
(b)
Student advising and supervision
(i) Student Advising:
 Academic advisor of 37 students in Cohort 2011 during the academic years 2012 and
2013. I regularly met with individual students and advised them in different aspects of
their studies.
 Currently, as the ECE HoD, I interview all students under probation in the ECE and
Mechatronics programs. During the interviews, I spend sufficient time with the
students, listen to them, and then provide proper advice to them.
Similarly, I pay particular attention to the issues related to the students who are late
compared to the stage that they should be according to their degree plans.
(ii) Supervision of Undergraduate Students
A list of my supervision of undergraduate final-year projects (FYP) is provided in the
Appendix B (5 FYP at SQU over 4 years, 6 FYP at Swinburne University, Australia, and 26
FYP at Central Queensland University, Australia).
I encouraged my students to take part in national conferences (which are normally at the
postgraduate level) and apply for national and international students awards.
Page 4 of 37
(iii) Supervision of Postgraduate Students
This is presented in the section on 'supervision in scholarship' (Section 4.b).
(c)
Participation in Curriculum Development/Review and Teaching Management
At Sultan Qaboos University:
I have led the ECE Department during 2014-2015 in carrying out the following:
Major modifications of the curriculum of the Bachelor of Engineering ECE Program (for
the cohort 2015 onwards). Some highlights are:
 Review of all course pre-requisites and modifications after thorough discussions in
specialized tracks;
 Amalgamation of two mathematical courses, Discrete Mathematics and Complex
Variables, into one course and the addition of a new course in Numerical Analysis (this
was done after receiving feedback from different cohorts of students and after
discussions with colleagues).
 Review of the ECE specialized track electives and suggestion of new course titles and
content to offer more elective courses in emerging areas.
At Central Queensland University:
 During 2005 to 2006, I led a team of academics in developing new plans for
undergraduate engineering programs, including curriculum development for
undergraduate engineering programs (Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of
Engineering Technology, and Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering).
 Member of the ‘Project Based Learning Team’, during 2005-2008.

RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Leading Research Teams:
Research project in the area of renewable energy systems and smart grid at SQU:
 TRC (The Research Council) Grant:
Title: Enterprises Transition to Smart Grid in Oman
A multi-disciplinary research in the areas of power system, communications, computer
engineering, and geographical information systems in determining a pathway towards smart
grid in Oman.

This grant was initiated by a colleague, but he left the University in the first year of the
project without achieving the milestones of the first year. So, the project became inactive by
TRC. I took over as the PI in the first year and worked hard with the research team to make
the project active again, and achieve the original objectives of this project.
Some examples of achievements in this project are as follows:

Building hardware of a microgrid test bed, including solar panels, wind turbine, storage
batteries, connection to the University grid, data acquisition and data logging.

Building capacity: Master's thesis, final-year project, short contracts with students, involving
a local company established by SQU graduates and students, involving technicians, etc.

International collaboration, working with Professor Syed Islam, a distinguished professor
from Curtin University in Australia, on required policies and technologies to move towards
smart grid in Oman.

Invited another distinguished professor from Australia, Professor Peter Wolfs, and worked
with him to deliver a 5-days workshop on Smart Grids, delivered to engineers from industry
in Oman. I contributed in the development and delivery of the lab practices for this workshop.
Page 9 of 37
Also, I organized a seminar on smart grids for the IEEE Oman Section delivered by Professor
Wolfs.

Publications of papers are underway (after the tests on the hardware are finished, which is
expected by the end of November 2015).
 Internal Grant:
Design and Implementation of the Electrical Subsystem of a Stand-Alone Wind Energy
Conversion System in Oman:

Hardware and software implementation of a system to convert wind energy to electricity,
which can work as an independent supply and particularly will be suitable for remote villages
or equipment that may not have access to electricity.

Publications of papers are underway (after the installation of hardware is finished).
 Research Group:
I am leading a theme, Energy Planning and Management, in the research group “Renewable &
Sustainable Energies Research Group” (RASERG) at SQU. I am currently working on
reinforcing this theme by getting involved in research and consultancy projects in this area.
My achievements in other areas of research are as follows:
 Research in dynamics and stability issues of wind energy systems:

Four Master's thesis at SQU (completed), two PhD students and one Master's student at
Swinburne University of Technology, with several publications.
I have plans to extend this research work.
 Establishment of a collaborative research project with Ergon Energy in Queensland,
Australia to study the problems associated with their Single Wire Earth Return (SWER)
distribution system.
 Initiation of a research in the area of Transmission Network Expansion Planning for the
National Electricity Market, Australia.
 I was a member of the research team ‘High-Performance Computing Group’ at CRE in
a collaborative multi-disciplinary research. The topic of this research was ‘Applications
of Artificial Intelligence in Railway Engineering’. I contributed to the development of
two specific projects in this area, namely, applications of artificial neural networks in
developing intelligent systems in railway track monitoring and applications of fuzzy
logic in controlling induction machines used as electrical brakes.

Peer-Reviewed Scholarly Publications
A list of my publications is provided in the Section 6 of this CV.
Summary:
BC (Book Chapters): 3 (1 with SQU affiliation)
JP (Journal Papers): 33 Papers (8 with SQU affiliation + 1 recently accepted)
CP (Conference papers): 81 papers (8 with SQU affiliation, mostly by my postgraduate
students).
Note:

I have been with SQU for four years, of which close to two years have served with the heavy
administrative load of HoD.

I usually firstly establish a research area, and publish later.
These two factors are the reasons why the number of my publications at SQU is not large.
However, since some of my research work are concluding this year, more publications will be
submitted soon.

Before joining SQU:
 Discipline Leader of Electrical Engineering, January 2005 to December 2006
In this role, I performed a few strategic tasks as follows.
 Leading the electrical engineering discipline in their strategic plans for developing new
undergraduate programs and planning a major review of the undergraduate programs;
I was an active member of the Program Review Steering Committee at the College of
Engineering and Built Environment, where I coordinated and contributed to the
curriculum design of new programs in undergraduate engineering programs.
 Initiated and contributed to the establishment of new laboratories.
 Chaired the assessment committee meetings (Electrical, Industrial Instrumentation and
Computer Systems), finalising the grades and discussions on at-risk students to plan the
actions for students retention.
 I was the Designated Power Engineering Alliance (PEA) University Academic Contact
in a power engineering bursary program in Queensland, which provided bursaries to
undergraduate students with interests in power engineering, during 2005 to 2008. I
continued this role with the Australian Power Institute (API) as their Contact Academic
Staff at Swinburne University of Technology since 2009.
 Group Leader of Centre for Railway Engineering (CRE) at CQU during 2005-2007

In this role, I coordinated the research and consultancy activities of the electrical engineering
group at CRE.
 Past Leadership and Organisational Management
 At the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Shiraz University, I was
the leader of the Power Engineering Group from 2001 to 2002. I was also a member of
the Engineering Faculty Research Committee from September 1999 to February 2002.
 Successfully initiated a Master of Engineering by coursework program in the area of
electrical power engineering during my work at Shiraz University from 1998 to 2001;
 I worked as a professional engineer at an engineering research centre in Shiraz, Iran
during 1986 to 1991 and was promoted to the Group Leader of the Electronic and
Control Group of that centre in 1992. I was the Group Leader until 1994, when I started
my PhD studies in Australia. At that centre, we were involved with the R & D sections
of different industries to propose new devices/systems and implement them to the level
of industrial prototypes.
(b)
Participation in areas other than those directly related to research and
teaching
 I have encouraged and have been actively involved in social events at the ECE
Department and College of Engineering. For example, I actively participated in the
College Sport Day in the last three years, and also participated in the organization and
activities of the ECE social day in the current academic year.
 I have participated in workshops in leadership skills.
(c)
Scholarship in university and community service
I have not been involved in the research in this area, but I participated in a showcase of
research supervision, which may be considered as scholarship in university service:

Popularization, dissemination, and simplification of knowledge
Development and Delivery of Short Courses for Industry
At SQU:
 Development and Delivery of a short course on “Power System Analysis Training
Workshop”, delivered to engineers from the power utility companies in Oman, 2-6
February 2014.
 Contribution to the development and delivery of a short course on “Smart Grid
Training Workshop”, delivered to engineers from the power utility companies in
Oman, 15-19 June 2014
At Central Queensland University:
Developed and delivered a short course on ‘power systems protection: theory and
application’ to the electrical staff at Boyne Smelters Corporation, a member of the CAMALCO
industrial group in Gladstone, Queensland. This course was aimed to enhance, improve and
develop the knowledge base and understanding of the technical and professional electrical staff
at the Smelters.
The course, which was delivered in 2004, was well received at Boyne Smelters.
(e)
Serving in administrative positions and committee
membership/chairmanship
Current position:
Head of Department, Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), since 1st of January 2014.
[This department has four specialized tracks with 37 faculty members, 16 technical staff, and
2 administrative staff. A new specialized track is recently approved, in principle, by the
University Council.]

Without leadership skills, the management of such a big and complex department would not
be easy. Only after two years of my joining SQU, and when I had started the establishment
of my research area, I was nominated by the faculty members and endorsed by the Dean for
this position. This shows that, in a short time after joining SQU, my colleagues recognised
my skills and experiences to a level that they nominated me and put their trust on me to
manage this department.
In previous positions:
 Head of Department, Central Queensland University, from Jan. 2007 to Sept. 2008
In this role, I
 managed the academic staff of the Department of Systems including setting the
workload of individual faculty members.
Page 16 of 37
 performed as the Chair of several university recruitment panels, and employed
academics in the areas of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and civil
engineering;
 was instrumental in the strategic workforce planning for the Department and in
developing new workload models for the academic staff.

Notes:
(1) In the list of my publications, students under my supervision are highlighted by this sign: #S.
As can be noted, in most of my publications where I am not the first author, my student is the first
author. I have been closely involved in all stages of developing the idea, guiding the student,
preparation of the article, correcting, proof-reading, and in many cases was the corresponding author.
In most cases, I firstly established a research theme, and then supported the students with
scholarships and required tools (including software) to perform their research. Although I highly
contributed to the preparation of papers for publication, I preferred to encourage students to publish
as first authors.
Also, I would like to draw your attention to a point related to the papers published with my students
from SUT. Although I was the students’ main supervisor from their commencement date to September
2011, when I moved to SQU, it was a requirement by SUT that the main supervisor should be affiliated
with SUT. As such, although I had given the research idea and the Ph.D. titles to the students, was
continuing working with the students on their theses, had developed the papers with the students,
and in most cases was the corresponding author, the students had to put the substituted supervisor
affiliated with SUT as the second author, and I did not object to be the third author. This was done in
spite of the fact that I was the main contributor to the authorship of those papers apart from the
students’ work.
Name of these students in my published papers are as follows: M. R. Hesamzadeh, M.A. Chowdhury,
E. M. Farahani, T. Choudhury, and M. Korki.
Generally, I would like to assert that I have no paper in the list of publications provided in my CV, for
which I did not have considerable contribution.
(2) Independent research:
I finished my Ph.D. in 1998 under Professor Akhtar Kalam’s supervision at Victoria University, Australia.
All my papers published after 2002 are the results of my independent work.
