    • Comparing models of problem and project-based learning (PBL) courses and student engagement in civil engineering in Qatar 

      Naji, Khalid Kamal; Ebead, Usama; Al-Ali, Abdulla Khalid; Du, Xiangyun ( Modestum LTD , 2020 , Article)
      Background: While improved student engagement has been highlighted as an essential goal and a major outcome of Problem and Project-Based learning (PBL), little empirical evidence has been provided regarding types and forms ...

    • Development of diverse assessment methods for pbl implementation at a course level in engineering education in qatar 

      Ebead, Usama Ali Ali; Naji, Khalid K.; Tarlochan, Faris; Al-Ali, Abdulla Khalid A.M.; Du, Xiangyun ( Aalborg University , 2021 , Conference Paper)
      While the current literature collectively agrees that Problem and/or Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a useful instructional methodology, the majority of the literature has been based on the assumption that all PBL stems ...

    • Drained residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low to medium effective normal stresses: Analyses and Applications 

      Rabie, Khaled H. (2016 , Master Thesis)
      A laboratory research program was undertaken to study the large-strain shear strength characteristics of fine-grained soils under low effective normal stresses (~3 to 6 kPa). Soils that cover a wide range of plasticity and ...

    • Meeting sustainable development goals via robotics and autonomous systems 

      Guenat, Solène; Purnell, Phil; Davies, Zoe G.; Nawrath, Maximilian; Stringer, Lindsay C.; ... more authors ( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)
      Robotics and autonomous systems are reshaping the world, changing healthcare, food production and biodiversity management. While they will play a fundamental role in delivering the UN Sustainable Development Goals, associated ...

    • A NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODOLOGY FOR LEAK DETECTION IN WATER NETWORKS USING INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY (IR) AND GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) 

      Khader, Mohammad Rafe (2016 , Master Thesis)
      Two noninvasive and nondestructive methodologies for detecting leaks in water pipes were proposed and tested. The first method combines the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for accurate determination of pipe location, ...

    • Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams With Textile- Reinforced mortars 

      Afzal, Muhammad Shekaib (2016 , Master Thesis)
      This study involves an experimental work for using textile reinforced mortar (TRM) to increase the flexural strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Two different types of textiles namely carbon and Polyparaphenylene ...
