Texas A&M University at Qatar (Tamuq) recently welcomed potential master’s students for its annual Graduate Studies Open House at the Texas A&M Engineering Building in Education City.
The event aimed to answer questions for prospective students about Tamuq’s master’s degrees in chemical engineering: the Master of Science and Master of Engineering.
Attendees learnt about Tamuq’s graduate programme offerings, degree eligibility requirements and the resources offered including financial aid opportunities and flexible schedules. Potential graduate students interacted with current graduate students and some who have recently graduated with their master’s degrees. Faculty and administrators gave information on the programme, as well as part-time employment options for full-time students through teaching and research assistantships.
Hania Ayyash, Graduate Studies manager, emphasised that Tamuq’s flexible class schedules allow part-time studies for those students who are employed full time in industry or government.
“Several of our graduate students are employed full time in local industry and many students are employed by Texas A&M at Qatar as graduate assistants while they earn their master’s degrees,” Ayyash said. “We’re particulary proud of the fact that more than 50 percent of our master’s graduates continue into PhD programmes around the world.”
During the open house, master’s students Razan Ahmed and Ahmed al Yazidi talked with prospective students about the graduate programme and their experiences as students at Tamuq. A panel discussion titled ‘The Role of Graduate Education in a Knowledge-based Economy’ featured Mohamed al Enazi, CAO, ORYX GTL; Dr Konstantinos Kakosimos, associate professor of chemical engineering at Tamuq; Dr Dhabia al Mohannadi, assistant professor of chemical engineering at Tamuq; Dr Ayman Bassil, Capacity Building Senior Manager, Qatar National Research Fund; and Wajdi Alnoush, research associate at Tamuq.
Dr Patrick Linke, executive director of graduate studies and chair of the Chemical Engineering Program at Tamuq, said, “The panel discussion highlighted the need to continuously learn and be adaptable to address emerging challenges of an evolving economy. ”
Applications for the Master of Science (MS) and Master of Engineering (MEng) programmes are being accepted for the Fall 2019 semester and will remain open until May 15, 2019.
