My teaching interests parallel my research interests, focusing on areas of hydraulics and hydrology, groundwater and soil remediation, water resources and environmental engineering.   I am also interested in integrating remote sensing and geographical information system into a wide range of civil engineering issues that include environmental engineering, hydrological modeling, water resources, and transportation engineering.  Additionally I am interested in teaching courses in the application of computer programming and statistics to civil engineering as courses of this type will prepare graduating students for easy transition into the workplace. I encourage the use of computational packages (HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SAS, SPSS, MODEFLOW, ERDAS) related to the courses, so that graduating student develop some proficiency in the tools used by professionals.   As a Graduate Teacing Fellow, I got chance to teach 2 subjects to undergraduate students at The City College of New York.


* Environmental Water Resources

The goal of this course is: 1) Develop an appreciation for the components of the hydrologic cycle, how they interact, and how they transport various materials; 2) Practice quantitative techniques for estimating the magnitude of different components of the hydrologic cycle; Become more comfortable making reasonable estimates, utilizing data, and addressing open-ended questions in engineering problem solving and design; 3) Become familiar with the agencies, organizations, and institutions participating in scientific research and management of the Southern Hudson River; 4) Improve their ability to communicate technical material in written form and orally; 5) Better their ability to do research: identify and collect needed information, analyze data, draw and support appropriate conclusions, and provide recommendations for future studies; 6) Improve their ability to work as part of a team effectively; 7) Develop their skills in completing an open-ended project under time constraints using a systematic, phased approach.


* Geographical Information System (GIS)
The goal of this course is to develop an understanding of geographic space and how maps represent geographic space. A student must be able to read maps, as well as write about and discuss information gleamed from maps. By the end of the course, Students will be able to develop graphs and to use geographic information systems to build useful maps.


* Hydrology and Hydraulics Engineering
The aim of this course is to give civil engineering majors a basic understanding of flow systems in closed and open hydraulic and hydrologic systems. This course is designed to provide detail computation for studying, analyzing and design of components of hydraulic systems such as pipes, pumps, open channels and storm collection systems. Included in this course will be two hydraulic laboratory experiments and three computer lab experiments using a commercial software (i.e. Haestad-Method© software) which help students to design and visualize different hydraulic and hydrological phenomena in professional manner.


Subjects, I would like to teach in future.

* Remote Sensing in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering

* Hydraulics, Hydrology, Groundwater Engineering

* Water Quality, Treatment and Environmental Engineering

* Mathematical, Statistical Modeling and Algorithm Development

* Geographic Information Science (GIS) and Geospatial Analysis
