AREA OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH
I taught courses related to transportation engineering, traffic engineering, and computer
applications in traffic operations, geometric design of highways, and highway capacity. My
interest in research has recently focused on deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) technologies to enhance safety and efficiency of the transportation systems including the
use of driving simulators. Transportation evacuation under hurricanes’ threats has gotten my
attention in the last two years. I also conducted research in numerous transportation applications
including electronic toll collection, work zone management and safety, red-light running
characteristics, computer simulation of traffic flow and operations, transportation of hazardous
materials and hazardous wastes including nuclear spent fuels, and regional freight transportation
modeling.

The CECS is one of nine colleges at the University of Central Florida with an annual academic
budget of $26 and an annual research expenditure of $22 million. The college enrolls 5,000
undergraduate students and more than 1,000 graduate students and occupies 200,000 square foot
space spread over three buildings. There are more than 150 tenured or tenure track faculty
members in the college. My daily duties in this position include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Coordinating and initiating research opportunities for faculty
Working with the graduate college on policies, procedures, and graduate studies affairs
for the college
Administering the hiring of faculty and staff
Approving memorandum of understanding with different international universities for
joint academic initiatives with UCF
Streamlining copyright and patent initiatives
Organizing new faculty orientations
Developing continuing education initiatives
Coordinating physical plan and property issues
As a Civil and Envitonmental Engineering Department Chair
4 Administrative duties at UCF included the department accreditation by the ABET board, the
accreditation by the Southern Accreditation of Colleges and Schools, the accreditation by the
State University System, hiring faculty, management of an annual budget in excess of $ 4.0
million which includes salaries, operation, capital, and sponsored research, interacting with the
CEE advisory board for the purpose of raising funds and reviewing the undergraduate and
graduate curricula in both programs (Civil and Environmental engineering), and developing a
department strategic plan. The department currently has twenty-two faculty, five staff members,
and four Research Associates. The undergraduate enrollment amounts to 430 and the graduate
enrollment is at 145 students.
The following are highlights of major accomplishments during my administrative tenure at
UCF:
Successfully completed two five-year terms as a chair including an extensive
review process
I have worked with the Florida Congressional Delegation in Washington to
establish the Center for Advanced Transportation Systems Simulation (CATSS) at
UCF. I currently serve as the center “Executive Director”.
Established a Construction Engineering option within the Civil Engineering
program, and a new faculty was hired in spring 1999 to lead this effort. The
enrollment in this program has grown to become 30 students.
Interacted with the Dean to complete plans for the second phase of the
Engineering Building. The CEE Department is sharing this building with the
Industrial Engineering Department.
Secured a six-year accreditation period in 1991, and 1997. Completed ABET
2000 visit in fall 2003.
Assisted with SACS and SUS accreditation activities in 1994
Hired 14 new faculty tenure track members, two of which are African/Americans
of which one male and one female. One of those faculty members is a “Provost
Professor” in Water Resources.
Worked with eleven CEE faculty members to successfully achieve tenure and
promotion to Associate Professor, and three promotions from the rank of
Associate Professor to the rank of Professor
Completed a department strategic plan in 1991, updated this plan in early 1994,
and developed a new plan in 1998.
Hired six new staff members
5 Interfaced with the Curriculum sub-committee of the CE advisory board to
evaluate both program curricula. Proposed changes were voted on by the faculty
and included in the '94-'95 catalog.
Worked with the Dean of Engineering and the fund raising sub-committee of the
CE advisory board to establish the “Alex Alexander professorship” for
Environmental restoration. This task was completed in October 1996. The level of
endowment is $ 150,000.
Established and successfully completed an undergraduate scholarship “The
Yousef Yousef Scholarship” in July 1997 and the Paul Hartman Scholarship in
2002.
Worked with the CEE Faculty to increase the research funding in the CEE
Department to over $200,000 per faculty
Managed student enrollment growth during the period 1993-1996 (from 420 to
650)
Worked with the local consultant firms to establish student scholarships including
Greiner, ASCE, and FES scholarships
Attempted to increase the department exposure locally and nationally by
developing a promotional videotape, the "Surveyor" newsletter, short courses and
workshops, and Executive Conferences to attract international delegations, and an
Internet web-site
Interacted with the executive officer and the CEE faculty to improve advisement
especially for the undergraduate program. The outcome is a significant increase in
the size of the graduating class and improved retention.
Attracted an Executive Conference series on Motor Vehicle and the Environment
to UCF, which is sponsored by the International Road Federation
Offered several workshops at UCF and encouraged other CEE faculty to develop
similar activities.
As the Executive Director of The Center for Advanced Transportation Systems Simulation
The Center for Advanced Transportation Systems Simulation, known as CATSS, was created in
1998 as one of several “University Transportation Centers” (UTC) approved by congress under
the TEA 21 transportation bill. The TEA 21 authorized the federal Department of Transportation
to support CATSS to the tune of $1.6 million over the period 1998-2002. The Florida
Department of Transportation signed a contract with UCF to provide CATSS with the Dollar-
6 for-Dollar match dictated by the federal sponsor. The four-year funding from the federal source
matched by non-federal sources amounted to a total of $4.0 Million.
In 2002, a limited competition among the seventeen UTC centers was conducted and CATSS
was selected to receive funding for years 5 and 6. The $1 Million funding per year matched by
an equal amount resulted in another $4.0 Million of funding to bring the total CATSS funding
level to date to $8.0 Million. The total internal and external funding that CATSS managed over
its ten-year life is over $15 Million.
The mission of CATSS is to educate the next generation of transportation engineers who will
apply computer simulation, driving simulators, virtual reality, wireless communication and other
advance technologies to enhance the planning, design, operation, management, and safety of
transportation systems. It is envisioned that researchers in this center we will develop the
capability to test/evaluate advanced transportation systems from the conceptual design to the
feasibility and implementation stages using simulation and simulators, with human-in-the-loop
when applicable. For more information, please visit our website at: http://catss.ucf.edu/
Major accomplishments since CATSS inception include:
•
•
•

Establish two very successful partnerships with Orlando Orange County Expressway
Authority and the American Automobile Association
Two of CATSS faculty affiliates received the UCF Research of the Year Award
The Executive Director received the College of Engineering and Computer Science
“University Excellence in Professional Service” Award.
Become a member of the University Center for Intermodal Transportation Safety and
Security (UCITSS) funded by the Federal Transit Administration. UCITSS funded at the
level of $7 million for year 1 and $3 million in year 2. CATSS share is $1.8 million.
Expand the mission of the center to incorporate the FAA “Air Transportation Center of
Excellence” for highway traffic noise and mobile source emissions
