Ahmad Fayed is an associate professor of engineering technology at Southeastern Louisiana University (SELU). He is the Internship Coordinator for the Engineering Technology (ET) program. He is currently serving as the vice-chair of the Mechanical Engineering Leadership Committee of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a member of the ASME Committee on Engineering Education (CEE). He served in several education leadership positions at Southeastern including an online instructional mentor, a member of the Experiential Learning team, and the Teaching Excellence Team.
Before joining Southeastern in August 2017 as assistant professor, Ahmad was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Purdue University Northwest (PNW), at Hammond, IN, Lecturer at university of Nevada Reno (UNR), Instructor at University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), King Saud University, and Al-Azhar University. Ahmad teaches classes in different settings of instruction including online, blended, flipped, and technology-assisted classes. To increase student success, facilitate the instruction, enhance the level of engagement, assess student performance and evaluate his own teaching methods, Ahmad has been using innovative teaching approaches and utilizing several in-class activities and technology tools. Among the tools he has been using for in-class instant assessment and feedback, offline class interactions, and grading are iClickers, Plickers, Kahoot, self-paced interactive PowerPoints, Mentimeter, and Gradescope. At multiple national conferences, Ahmad offered presentations and workshops in using technology in classrooms to enhance student engagement and facilitate assessment and grading. He enjoys interactive teaching and is constantly exploring and using new teaching styles and technology tools to make the knowledge transfer process as smooth as possible. His unique teaching approaches are always recognized by his students and colleagues and have resulted in 3 Outstanding Teaching awards. His research interests include Engineering Education, Additive Manufacturing, Computer Vision, Robotics, Active Vibration Control, and Optimization.
