PHD in Engineering

Noor M.

I hold a combined bachelor’s and master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology, where I focused heavily on heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and applied numerical methods. My academic training is complemented by strong hands-on experience with tools such as ANSYS, MATLAB, Python, SolidWorks, and experimental instrumentation, as well as technical writing and project documentation. During my graduate work, I maintained a strong academic record and was recognized multiple times on the Dean’s List. This background allows me to explain complex engineering and math concepts clearly while grounding them in real-world applications and problem-solving .

In terms of teaching and tutoring experience, I have several years of informal and structured instructional experience in both one-on-one and small-group settings. In my research lab, I regularly mentor new lab members, help them understand core mechanical engineering concepts, and guide them through coursework, simulations, and experimental procedures. I have also contributed to the creation of training materials, workshops, and instructional content during my engineering co-op, which strengthened my ability to adapt explanations to different learning styles. Most of the students I have worked with are undergraduate or early graduate level, and my approach emphasizes breaking topics down step by step, using intuitive physical explanations first, and then reinforcing them with equations, examples, and practical applications.
