I would like to announce that Dr. Mohamad Zbib has accepted our offer to join our School as associate professor of practice. Mohamad will be teaching first-year engineering as well as other important courses in both MSE and ENE. He has extensive experience in the classroom and in curriculum development. Many of you already know him as he is an alumnus of our School (working with Dave Bahr) and has been a visiting professor over the last year. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Elliot Slamovich and the rest of the search committee, who did an amazing job through the entire search process. Welcome to Purdue MSE Mohamad!
