Ghada M. Gad, Ph.D.

I am deeply invested in fostering the next generation of construction professionals. My teaching philosophy is built on two core pillars: integrating active learning strategies to enhance student engagement and collaborating with industry professionals to provide real-world insights and constructive feedback on student work. Through this approach, I emphasize experiential learning and industry collaboration to bridge the gap between theory and practice. With over a decade of experience as a faculty, I have been deeply involved in all levels of faculty service (department, university, and college levels), including assessment (3 ABET accreditation cycles), curriculum development (Masters program), and education policy (university senate college representative) which has strengthened my ability to align student learning objectives with industry needs.

I have taught a variety of courses at both undergraduate and graduate level. Some of the courses taught over my academic career include:
