Faculty Profile

My name is Mohamed AICHOUNI. I am currently Associate Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering at Hail University ; Prior to that (i.e from August 2001 to September 2008) I acted as an Assistant Professor and Chairman of the Mechanical Technology Department  at Hail College of Technology (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia); From September 1992 to August 2001, I was an Assistant Professor then Associate Professor at the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering, University of Mostaganem (Algeria). From 1988 to 1992 I was a demonstrator at the Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering Department Laboratories at the University of Salford in the United Kingdom. During my University career I had been Principal Investigator and Leader of several externally funded research projects (Visit the page of our latest project on e-Learning (Mech-eLearn)). Several PhD and MSc Theses have been discussed under my supervision; I have been an external examiner of more than thirty Master and PhD theses in the area of thermo-fluids engineering. Since 1990, I published more than forty scientific papers in refereed journals and international conferences. I designed and delivered industrial training courses in the areas of Information Technology, Metrology, Quality Control and Quality Systems ISO 9000 .

 I earned a PhD degree in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Salford, Manchester, Great Britain in 1992 and a Bachelor degree in Marine Engineering (Major : Mechanical Machinery) from the University of Sciences and Technology of Oran (Algeria) in 1987.

Teaching Activity    Since 1988, I have been teaching the following courses

• At the Graduate level : Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, Applied Statistics, Physics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Dimensional Metrology, Statistical Quality Control, Manufacturing Systems, Turbo-machinery, Renewable Energies, Engineering Drawing, Engineering Projects and Programming languages.

• At the Post-Graduate level : Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics,  Heat and Mass Transfer, Environmental Engineering .

With the recent advents of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT),   e-Learning concepts have been adopted to develop and deliver my lectures notes and conferences.
