In Eritrea, at the University of Asmara, I worked as a lecturer within the Electrical Engineering department, with a strong focus on delivering technical expertise in core electrical subjects. I provided in-depth instruction in areas such as electrical installations and power systems, ensuring that students developed both theoretical understanding and practical competencies aligned with industry standards.

In addition to teaching, I developed detailed course outlines for the Electrical Installations program and contributed to the broader curriculum development for electrical engineering, ensuring technical accuracy, relevance, and coherence across modules. I also provided academic guidance and counseling to students, supporting their progression and professional development.

To maintain high-quality delivery, I supervised graduate assistants and laboratory staff, ensuring that practical sessions and lab work met required technical and educational standards. Furthermore, I established strong links with the Eritrean industrial sector, facilitating applied research opportunities and organizing student field placements. This included coordinating and guiding educational visits to power plants, reinforcing the connection between academic learning and real-world engineering practice.
