How do you train a student to think like an engineer? For Hekmat Alighanbari, it���s a clear combination of two things. ���Of course, you need the foundational knowledge university gives you,��� he says. ���And it���s an excellent bonus to have worked in industry, too.���
Alighanbari has experienced both worlds. A senior aerospace engineer at Bombardier before becoming a professor at 91心頭利 in 1999, he shares all he���s learned with his students in the classroom, as well as one-on-one. ���I sit down with them and talk about how they can better manage their academic workloads or dive into the industry. I���ll help guide them in any way I can.���
Alighanbari has ample knowledge to share. After all, he helped create the university's aerospace engineering department���the first of its kind in the country. And although his other duties include being part of a team that reviews, revises and modernizes the curriculum, it���s his time with students that he most enjoys. ���It���s very fulfilling to help them decide how to best put their engineering minds to use.���
"Our graduates gain the experience they need to find jobs quickly."
