My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that:
“Chemical Engineering is not just a Business !! It’s a Craft !!!”
My teaching philosophy is centered around the idea that learning is a lifelong journey, and my role is to guide students along this path. I believe in creating an environment that encourages exploration, critical thinking, and the application of knowledge to real-world situations. My aspiration is to support my students to work effectively as a team member with effective communication skills and gain the ability of being engaged in lifelong learning. I strive to make my classes interactive, engaging, and relevant to my students’ future careers and personal growth.
Courses:
[CHEM_ENG_3101: Fundamentals of Transport in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering]
A brief course description. I aim to foster an understanding of the essential relevant concepts or skills in this course including: This course covers the fundamentals of momentum, energy, and mass transport. Phenomenological mechanisms of molecular transport, fluid static, analysis of a fluid in motion laminar and turbulent flow are covered. The general differential equations for momentum, energy and mass transfer are presented and solved for a variety of chemical engineering problems.
- Semester taught: [Fall Semester – Spring Semester].
- Prerequisites: Math 3304 and Chem Eng 2110. Admitted to the Chemical Engineering Program.
[CHEM ENG 5325: Carbon Capture Process Engineering]
** Semester taught: [Spring Semester].
This course covers the fundamentals of carbon capture process engineering. The course introduces the climate change issue and the need for CO2 capture process engineering. An introduction to catalysis and its significant impact on carbon management. Then, introduce an overview of the process technologies and material design associated with capturing carbon in industrial operations to reduce carbon emissions, reutilize captured carbon in oil and chemical processes, and extract carbon from the atmosphere to mitigate greenhouse effects and climate change.
[CHEM ENG 6015: Graduate Seminar Lecture Series]
[CHEM_ENG_4099-603: Undergraduate Research]
** Semester taught: [Fall Semester – Spring Semester – Summer Semester].
** Undergraduate students who are interested in doing research in our ACS Lab are encouraged to register to the course. Please, feel free to send an email to me at Hany.Elazab@mst.edu for further details or questions.
Teaching Methods and Approaches
I employ a variety of teaching methods to cater to diverse learning styles, including [e.g., flipped classrooms, problem-based learning, group projects]. I believe in a hands-on approach and incorporate real-world examples and case studies wherever possible.
Student Engagement
I encourage student engagement through active participation in discussions, group projects, and presentations. I also offer virtual office hours and am always open to questions and discussions outside of class time.
Office Hours
I hold office hours on [Monday] from [11 a.m.] to [2 p.m.]. Appointments can be scheduled via [email: Hany.Elazab@mst.edu, online platform: Canvas].
Professional Development
I am dedicated to continuous professional growth and regularly attend workshops and seminars on teaching innovations and pedagogy. I also participate in [relevant professional or academic societies] to stay current in my field and in the realm of education.
